How to Make 4 Cheese Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Gently fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour batter into the prepared springform pan. Place the pan in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
- Bake for 85 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This allows it to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
