About this recipe
Vanilla baked cheesecake is a classic Polish dessert made with finely ground twaróg, eggs, cream, and vanilla pudding powder. Its short ingredient list and mild flavor make it suitable for a family table or as a make-ahead dessert. The pudding powder helps the filling set and enhances the delicate vanilla aroma, while the cream gives it a smoother texture. Cool the cheesecake slowly, then chill it thoroughly so the center sets and slices cleanly.
Ingredients
750 g finely ground Polish pressed curd cheese (twaróg)
3 eggs
150 g sugar
100 ml whipping cream (30% fat)
40 g gluten-free vanilla pudding powder (cook-and-serve)
Steps
Preheat the oven to 165°C with top and bottom heat and line the base of a springform pan about 23 cm across with baking paper. Mix the cheesecake twaróg with the sugar, eggs and cream on low speed or with a spatula, just until smooth. Do not beat for long, as excess air encourages the cheesecake to rise too much and then sink.
Add the dry custard powder directly to the cheese mixture; do not make it into a separate custard first. Mix briefly until no dry lumps remain, scraping up the ingredients from the bottom of the bowl.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared springform pan and level the surface. Tap the base of the pan lightly on the worktop to release large air bubbles; do not shake vigorously or beat the mixture again.
Bake on the middle rack for 55–70 minutes. The edges should be set and the center should wobble slightly as one piece when you gently move the pan, without ripples of liquid batter. Do not wait until the whole cheesecake is firm and deeply browned; it will also set as it cools.
Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar and keep the cheesecake inside for 30–40 minutes. Then place the pan on a wire rack to cool before covering and refrigerating for several hours, until the center is stable. Do not release the warm cheesecake from the pan or slice it before chilling.
