食材

red velvet cake, prepared but not baked

6 eggs

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoonful white chocolate instant pudding mix

2 tablespoons of sugar as needed

步驟

Cheesecake

Prepare the red velvet cake batter.

Preheat oven to 375F

Put about 1/4 inch of cake batter in the bottom of a greased and floured 10 inch springform.

Use the rest of the batter in a 13x9 or 9 inch cake pan.

Bake cakes 20 minutes or until firm and done.

Break the cake (NOT the one in the springform) into large chunks and set aside.

Beat the cheesecake ingredients together until smooth.

Reserve about 1/2 cup cake crumbs for the top.

Fold the remaining cake chunks into cheesecake batter.

Pour cheesecake mixture into the springform pan.

Cover the bottom of the springform with aluminum foil, bringing it up the sides.

Place pan in larger pan of hot water. Water should come halfway up the sides.

Bake for 50 minutes.

Turn oven off and leave door closed for 1 hour. Don’t PEEK!

Remove from oven, take out of the water bath.

Let come to room temperature.

Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.

Topping

Whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken.

Add the teaspoon of instant pudding mix and 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Whip until soft peaks form.

Taste and add more sugar if needed.

Spoon on top of cooled cheesecake.

Sprinkle with reserved red velvet cake crumbs.

Notes:

If you're in a hurry use a store bought red velvet cake and use Oreo cookie crumbs for the crust.

Expert Tip: All ingredients should be room temperature before you start making your cheesecake.

Follow all the directions carefully.

The water bath is important so don't skip it.

Make sure your aluminum foil is wrapped securely around the bottom of the springform and up the sides to prevent leaking.

Do NOT peek at the cheesecake while it is baking or resting because it makes it cranky.

Let the cake come to room temperature before chilling.

Place a paper towel over the top of the cake before wrapping it with plastic wrap and chilling. This will keep the top dry and help guard against cracking.
