Frequently Asked Questions:
Cheesecake Without Cream Cheese
Shouldn’t I whip up any ingredients?
You don’t need to whip up anything. Beating well by hand is more than enough.
Will the cheesecake rise higher if I add baking powder?
This isn’t a spongy type of cheesecake, and it’s not supposed to rise. That’s why you don’t need to add baking powder.
Are the three eggs enough? Doesn’t the recipe need more eggs?
Three eggs are enough. This isn’t a high cake. It’s more like a pie.
Featured Review
“Excellent cake, both delicious and easy to make.
I got to the conclusion that cheesecakes without whipping are not only easier to make,
but rather also more scrumptious because they’re denser, more flavorful and moister”

Tips
Crust
What’s great about cheesecake biscuit crust is that you can use any kind of cookie to make it. You’re not limited to ordinary graham crackers or even plain tea biscuits. For example, gingersnap cookies can give the crust an extraordinarily spicy taste. Wafers of all flavors can also make great substitutes for graham crackers.Batter
The batter contains egg and cornstarch. So, it should firm nicely in the oven. However, avoid overbaking it and use an oven thermometer to manage the temperature. Even if you feel the center is a little wobbly, the cheesecake continues to cook as it cools.your time to shine:
