New York Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce / 草莓酱纽约乳酪蛋糕 / ニューヨークチーズケーキ&苺ソース

I baked this but I am drooling over my yummylicious screen now. New York cheesecake is always our top choice when we think of cheesecake. The cake itself is deliciously creamy with a perfect hint of sourness. You can enjoy it plain or with your favorite toppings. I like mine with fruit sauce, such as blueberry, mango or strawberry.

Why bother to make your own fruit sauce? The merit of making your own sauce is that you have the control for its sweetness and the consistency. My homemade fruit sauce is always packed with real fruits. It is so good with pancakes and French toasts too, worth the effort.

New York Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce          

草莓酱纽约乳酪蛋糕 / ニューヨークチーズケーキ&苺ソース

Ingredients (makes 8"):

Crust:

1 cup crushed digestive biscuit (I used Marie)
1/4 cup butter, room temperature

Filling:
500 g cream cheese, room temperature
1½ cup sugar
¼ cup milk
4 no. eggs
½ cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
¼ cup cake flour, sifted

Strawberry Sauce Topping:

200 g strawberry, sliced

¼ cup sugar (or lesser)

½ tbsp lemon juice

Methods:

1. Crust: Mix the crushed biscuit with the butter then press on the bottom of an 8" springform pan. Keep in the refrigerator for 30 minutes at least.
2. Filling: Whisk together the cream cheese with the sugar until creamy. Add in the milk, followed by the eggs and the sour cream in batches, a small amount in each addition.
3. Stir in the vanilla and flour, mix until just combined.
4. Transfer the batter into the springform pan (1).
5. Bake in the preheated oven, 170°C for 1 hour, with the water bath.
6. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan then chilled before serving.
7. Strawberry Sauce: Combine the sliced strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
8. Reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
9. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, then keep in the refrigerator. Note that the sauce will thicken up further once chilled.

Cutting the cheesecake can be a messy job but it is really easy to make a nice clean cut to impress your guests if you know the trick. 

1. Dip a sharp knife in hot water (hot, not warm) for a few seconds, wipe with a paper towel then cut the cake from top to bottom (not sawing motion). When the knife is at the bottom of the cake, pull it out toward you (not lifting up). Wipe the knife clean with a paper towel. 
2. Repeat (1) for each cut.
