About Vanilla Cheesecake

Vanilla Cheese Cake is made using a biscuit base and custard cream layer. Custard and fresh cream is used instead of cream cheese which makes it lighter. China grass helps the cake to set well and maintain its shape. This recipe is simple and suitable even for beginners. It can be made in a few simple steps.

When properly set, the texture of this cheese cake is smooth and soft. The biscuit layer at the bottom gives a slight crispness. The custard layer is creamy and melts in the mouth. Together it gives a good balance of texture and taste.

Its taste is mildly sweet with a slight vanilla flavor. The chocolate shavings on top add a little bitterness which balances out the sweetness. You can adjust the sugar as per your taste. It is not very sweet so it tastes good after eating. This is one of those sweets that looks fancy but is actually very easy to make.

I usually prepare this cheese cake a day before serving. This helps it to set well and taste better.

Vanilla Cheese Cake Ingredients

• digestive biscuits – I used it for base layer. It gives crunch and holds the cake well. You can also use any plain biscuit.
• butter – I have used melted butter to bind the biscuit pieces. This helps the base remain firm. Don’t reduce the butter too much.
• Milk – I have used milk to make custard. It gives smooth texture. Full fat milk works better.
• Sugar – I have used sugar for sweetness. You can adjust the quantity based on taste.
• fresh cream – To make the custard layer creamy, I have used fresh cream. It adds prosperity. Do not over whip the cream.
• custard powder – I used vanilla flavored for taste and thickness. It replaces cream cheese here.
• china grass – I used it to set a cheese cake. It is important for it to dissolve completely.
• Chocolate Shavings – I used it for garnish. It adds good look and taste.

Expert Tips

• Biscuit Base – I press the biscuit layer firmly. If it is loose, the base may break when cutting.
• cooking custard – I keep stirring the custard continuously. Do not leave it unattended otherwise knots may form.
• cooling stage – I let the custard cool completely before mixing it into the cream. Cream may curdle when heated.
• China Grass Time -Once the China grass dissolves, I add it immediately while it’s hot. It will set faster if it’s cold.
• cooling time – I keep it in the fridge for at least 6 hours. If you refrigerate them for a longer time, it gives better slicing.

serving and storage

Serve this cake chilled for best taste. You can simply cut these and decorate with chocolate shavings. It tastes good even the next day. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator. It remains good for 2 to 3 days.
