Cheesecake (baked)
A classic baked cheesecake made with cream cheese, eggs and a buttery biscuit base. The Thermomix melts the butter gently, grinds the biscuits and blends the filling silky smooth. Rich, creamy and impressive enough for any gathering, yet simple enough for a weekend bake.
About this recipe
Baked cheesecake with the Thermomix TM7 is one of those recipes every fan of the all-in-one kitchen machine should have in their collection. This classic dessert starts with a base of plain biscuits and melted unsalted butter, ground and mixed to an even crumb in seconds. The filling brings together cream cheese, eggs, egg yolk, cream and both caster sugar and homemade vanilla sugar for depth of flavour. Because the TM7 controls its gentle heat so precisely, the butter melts without burning, and the blade blends the cream cheese mixture into a silky, lump-free batter that bakes into that characteristic dense-yet-creamy texture. It is the kind of dessert that works for a festive birthday table, a weekend dinner party or simply a slice with afternoon coffee. If you have been searching for reliable cheesecake recipes for your kitchen machine, this version delivers consistent results every single time, with far less washing up than the traditional bowl-and-spatula approach.
Preparation tips
- Use full-fat cream cheese straight from the fridge so the filling stays thick and bakes without cracking; low-fat versions contain more water and give a softer, wetter result.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely in the switched-off oven with the door ajar before chilling it, as this gradual cooling prevents the classic sunken centre from forming.
- For extra flavour, grate the zest of an unwaxed lemon into the cream cheese mixture, or sprinkle the biscuit base with a pinch of cinnamon before adding the filling.
Recipe variations
- Berry version: swirl a few tablespoons of raspberry or blueberry compote through the cream cheese filling before baking for a fruity, tangy variation that cuts beautifully through the richness.
- Festive speculoos variant: replace the plain biscuits with speculoos biscuits and add a teaspoon of mixed spice to the base for a warming, Christmas-style cheesecake that pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee.
