Classic Cheesecake Recipe (Bakery-Style, Smooth, Stable & Profitable)
Cheesecake is one of the most popular desserts worldwide, but in professional kitchens, popularity alone is not enough.
A successful bakery-style cheesecake must be smooth, stable, easy to portion, and reliable for repeated production.
After testing several formulas in bakery conditions, this recipe proved to be the most consistent: no cracks, clean slices, and balanced sweetness—ideal for both home bakers and small bakeries.
What Defines a Professional Cheesecake?
A bakery-quality cheesecake should have:
-
Smooth, creamy texture
-
Balanced sweetness (not heavy or cloying)
-
Clean, sharp slices
-
Stable structure after chilling
-
No surface cracks
The key is control, not complexity.
Classic Bakery-Style Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
Crust
-
200 g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
-
100 g unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
-
600 g full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
-
150 g white sugar
-
3 large eggs (room temperature)
-
200 ml heavy cream
-
10 g vanilla extract
-
15 g cornstarch
Professional note: Full-fat cream cheese is essential for structure and mouthfeel. Low-fat versions produce weak, grainy results.
Step-by-Step Method
1️⃣ Prepare the Crust
-
Crush the biscuits finely.
-
Mix with melted butter until evenly coated.
-
Press firmly into the base of a lined springform pan.
-
Chill for 15 minutes to stabilize.
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling
-
Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth (do not overmix).
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
-
Add cream, vanilla, and cornstarch.
-
Mix only until combined.
Overmixing incorporates air, which is the main cause of cracking.
3️⃣ Baking
-
Pour filling over the chilled crust.
-
Bake at 160°C / 320°F for 50–60 minutes.
-
The center should wobble slightly when shaken.
-
Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool slowly inside.
This gradual cooling prevents sudden temperature shock.
