How to Make 4 Cheese Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Gently fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. 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).
  6. Bake for 85 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
