    Forty five minutes in total

    Productivity: sixteen

    Ingredients:

    1. half cup (one stick) room temperature unsalted butter plus more for the pan

    You need this mashup in your fe: pecan cheesecake pie. The cheesecake you adore pairs wonderfully with the pecan pie you remember eating as a child. Pecan cheesecake will quickly become your “go to” recipe after you prepare it.

    Are you a cheesecake fan? How about pie with pecans? If so, you must try this recipe for pecan pie cheesecake right away!

    I posted a question about what kind of pies people eat during the holidays on Facebook a few years back. I was positive that either pumpkin or apple pie would prevail. Between those two pies, opinions were fairly divided.

    It also turns out that pecan pie is actually preferred by a large number of people. I’m not sure why, but that startled me—I mean, I do adore a good, gooey pecan pie.

    Ingredients for the layer of cheesecake

    1. One chilled pie crust
    2. Eight ounces of softened cream cheese and a quarter cup of granulated sugar
    3. One big egg

    Regarding the pecan layer

    1. One-half cup dark corn syrup
    2. Two big eggs
    3. Half a cup of sugar, grated
    4. 1 and a half tablespoons melted unsalted butter
    5. One-half teaspoon of vanilla extract
    6. One cup of pecans

    DIRECTIONS

    • Turn the oven on to 350°. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray and dust with cornmeal.
    • Crimp the edges of the pie crust after pressing it into the pie plate. Keep chilled while preparing the fillings.
    • Cream cheese and sugar should be combined until smooth and creamy. Beat once more after adding the egg. Fill the unbaked pie crust to the brim.
    • Beat together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, and dark corn syrup. Gently spoon the mixture over the cheesecake layer after stirring in the pecans.

    Guidelines Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake

    CRUST

    • Set oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Grease the sides of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
    •  In a small dish, mix together the crust ingredients. Fill the springform pan with the mixture, pressing it up the sides and into the bottom.
    •  After 10 minutes of baking, remove the crust and allow it to cool.
    • To prevent water from the water bath from getting inside the pan, cover the outside of the pan with aluminum foil (see how I prepare my pan for a water bath). Put the prepared pan aside.

    CHEESECAKE

    • Lower the oven’s setting to 300°F, or 148°C.
    • Using a low speed mixer, thoroughly mix and smooth out the cream cheese, sugar, and flour in a large bowl. To lessen the quantity of air that is added to the batter, which might lead to cracks, be sure to use low speed. Scrape down the bowl’s sides.
    • Add the sour cream, zest, and lemon juice. Mix on low speed until thoroughly blended.
    • Add each egg separately, mixing just long enough to blend after each addition, and then add the Add egg yolks and stir until incorporated. As necessary, scrape down the bowl’s sides to ensure that everything is thoroughly mixed.
    • Add the blueberries to the batter and whisk gently.
    •  Evenly transfer the cheesecake mixture into the crust.
    • Sandwich the springform pan between two bigger pans. Enough warm water should be added to the outer pan to reach about halfway up the springform pan’s sides. On the springform pan, the water should not reach higher than the upper edge of the aluminum foil.
    • Bake for one and a half hours. Though still jiggly, the center should be set.
    •  After turning off the oven, shut the door and wait 30 minutes. In addition to continuing to cook, the cheesecake will gradually start to chill.
    • For thirty minutes, open the oven door slightly to let the cheesecake cool more gradually. This procedure aids in avoiding cracking.
    • Take the cheesecake out of the water bath and the oven, then put it in the fridge to cool fully.

     

    TOPPING

    • . Prepare the topping while the cheesecake cools. In a medium saucepan, add the sugar, cornstarch, and water; whisk to blend over medium heat. Heat until the sugar starts to dissolve and the mixture becomes moist.
    • Stir the blueberries into the sugar mixture and add more if needed.
    • Cook the blueberries until they begin to release their juice and soften.
    • When the juice has started to thicken and the blueberries are slightly juicy, remove from the heat. Transfer the blend into an additional receptacle and let it to cool down.
    • Prepare the whipped cream right before serving the cheesecake. In a large mixer bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
    • Take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator and take off the springform pan’s sides. Place the cheesecake onto a dish for serving.
    • Pipe swirls of whipped cream around the periphery of the cheesecake, followed by lemon slices and the blueberry topping.
    • Cheesecake should be chilled until ready to serve. Cheesecake should be consumed within three to four days of being refrigerated.

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla until well blended and no lumps of brown sugar remain. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger in a separate large bowl.

The cakes are done if it comes out clean. If not, bake until well done. Avoid overbaking. Let the cakes cool fully in the pans placed on a wire cooling rack. The cakes have to cool completely before icing and putting together.

    Prepare the frosting:

    • Beat cream cheese and butter in a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract, confectioners’ sugar, and a small amount of salt. Beat gently
    • To assemble and frost, start by layering off the tops of the cakes with broad serrated knife or cake leveler to get smooth surface.
    • One cake layer should be placed on serving plate, cake stand, or cake turntable.
    • Apply frosting to the top in an even layer.
    • Add extra frosting to the top of the second layer, followed by the third layer.
    • Drizzle the remaining icing over the sides and top.
    • Arrange the remaining roasted pecans on the cake’s top and sides. Before slicing, the cake should be chilled for at least 15 to 20 minutes. When cutting, this aids in the cake’s structure retention.
    • Leftover frosted cake can be kept in the fridge for up to five days if it is properly covered.

    Remarks

    • Make it ready in advance. The night before I want to serve the cake is when I like to make it. The flavor and texture of eclair cake are enhanced by chilling it overnight!
    • On eclair cake, canned chocolate icing also tastes amazing! After opening the can, taking off the lid, microwave it for 20 seconds. Whisk the frosting and then drizzle it over the graham cracker top layer.
    • Éclair cake can be kept, covered, in the refrigerator for up to five days. Every day, the graham crackers will get softer.
    • It is best to use cows milk (not oat or almond milk) so that the pudding mix sets well in the cake.

    1. Three to four medium-sized components (7″ to 7-7/8″ in length) peeled and ripe bananas (about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups mashed).
    2. One-third cup (76 grammes) of melted butter, devoid of salt or not
    3. A half-teaspoon of baking powder
    4. Not powder, but half a teaspoon of baking soda
    5. A single pinch of salt
    6. 3/4 cup (150g) sugar (use 1 cup for a sweeter taste, or 1/2 cup for less)
    7. One enormously battered egg
    8. One half cup of all-purpose flour 205 g
    9. one tsp of vanilla essence

    3. Mash the bananas and then add the butter:
    4. In a mixing dish, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they’re very smooth. Melt the butter and combine it with the mashed bananas.

    9. After serving, remove from the oven and let cool slightly in the pan. Remove the banana bread from the pan and let it cool completely before serving.
    10. Divide into portions and give. (Using a bread knife reduces the crumbliness of the slices.)
