Cooking method
- Step 1: Start by melting your butter in the microwave or on the stove. Once completely melted let it cool down to the room temperature.
- Step 2: Crush the cookies. If you have a blender or a food processor you can use it. But if you don’t have one, you can put your cookies in zip bag and crush them with a wooden spoon or your hands. After you done punishing the cookies, add the melted butter and mix the together.
- Step 3: For cheesecake is best to use a spring form pan, so that you can easily release your cheesecake. Put the cookies in your baking dish. With a glass or a spoon flatten the bottom and the sides to form a crust. Put the crust in the refrigerator to set.
- Step 4: With a hand mixer, bit the curd so that it gets creamy. Then add the sour cream, powder sugar, vanilla, corn starch and eggs. A little tip when it comes to eggs. Crack each one in the separate bowl to avoid shells in your cheesecake batter. Add each egg separately and stir the mixture before adding next one. In the end, add the poppy seed.
- Step 5: Preheat your oven for 170 degrees. In order to prevent your cheesecake from cracking, we will bake our cheesecake with a water bath. Wrap your baking dish with foil to prevent a water from sipping in. Pour your batter into your crust. Take a tray or a bigger baking dish and put your pan in it, then pour a hot water in.
- Step 6: Bake your cheesecake for 40 mints. Then turn off the oven and leave the door half open. Once it has cooled down to the room temperature, cover it and put in the refrigerator for few hours or overnight.
- Step 7: Take the cheesecake out of the pan and decorate it. Serve it cold with a cup of coffee or any beverage that you like.
