What is vanilla cheesecake?

Our vanilla cheesecake is a cheesecake with a vanilla-flavored cream cheese filling. If you are using fresh vanilla seeds from a pod rather than vanilla bean paste, it is easier to experiment with the flavor profile of the tropical spice. Try using different types of vanilla to find the best vanilla cheesecake flavor for you.

How to make vanilla cheesecake with cream cheese?

Rest assured; it is quite simple to make a beautiful no-bake cream cheese cheesecake. Start by preparing the crust so it has time to cool, set, and harden a bit before you pour in the vanilla and lemon filling made with both cream cheese, whipping cream, and sour cream, adding a creamy, flavorful, and fresh flavor to the sweet vanilla cheesecake. Allow for plenty of time for the vanilla cheesecake to set before garnishing it with fresh berries and herbs and serving it on a cake platter.

How to soften cream cheese for cheesecake?

Mixing cream cheese with sour cream for a smooth filling without cream cheese lumps is easiest if it is not ice-cold and hard. Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before you need it and let it sit on your worktop to make it softer, leaning towards room temperature. Taking it out of its packaging and cutting it into small cubes to place on a plate should reduce this time even further.

Can you freeze vanilla cheesecake?

Cheesecake can be frozen either in slices or as a whole, and the fresher it is when you freeze it, the better the thawed cake will be. After the cake has set, wrap it in cling film and aluminium foil (alternatively, cling film and placed in an airtight container) before placing it in your freezer. In a freezer, the vanilla cheesecake will keep for up to 1 month. When you are ready to indulge in the cake, let it defrost for 2-4 hours on the worktop or overnight in the refrigerator before garnishing and serving. If you are in a hurry, you can microwave vanilla cheesecake slices for 30 seconds.
