Marble pumpkin cheesecake recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why are there so many eggs in a cheesecake? ›

Eggs: Eggs are an essential element of cheesecake and all other custard-based desserts. Adding richness and a smooth texture, the proteins in the eggs set up during the gentle baking process, solidifying the dense network of dairy and sugar into a sliceable whole.

Their straight up Pumpkin Cheesecake is a pumpkin-twist on the Factory's classic cheesecake-and-graham-cracker formula, but the Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake adds a dense layer of gooey pecan pie, packed into a flaky pie crust and topped off with caramel and pecans.

In the absence of eggs for volume and lift, an eggless filling will not rise very much so it won't be a super tall cheesecake regardless of what size you make.

Use one rounded 1/2 tbsp egg replacer powder and 2 tbsp (1/8 cup) water to replace one egg (filtered water preferred). If your recipe calls for stiff egg whites, whisk together the egg replacer powder and water until stiff (this won't work for recipes that rely significantly on egg whites, such as meringues).

New York is not the only place in America that puts its own spin on cheesecakes. In Chicago, sour cream is added to the recipe to keep it creamy. Meanwhile, Philadelphia cheesecake is known for being lighter and creamier than New York style cheesecake and it can be served with fruit or chocolate toppings.

Plus, there are three different sizes to choose from. The 10-inch cheesecake serves around 10-12 people, a 7-inch cheesecake serves around 6-8 and a 6-inch cheesecake serves 4-6.

The QLD blue is perfect in baked dishes and also lends itself really well to boiling, making it great for mashes and soups.

For this one I used 6 eggs instead of 4. This resulted in a smoother, creamier, and lighter cheesecake then the control group one. If you want a smoother and lighter cheesecake then you just need to increase the number of eggs used.

When eggs are balanced with liquids and fats like water, oil, and butter, they ensure that your cake doesn't turn into a soupy mess, but adding too many of them adds too much structure, leaving you with a cake that's rubbery and dense.

If the batter is runny enough to drip from the bowl without a spatula, you'll know you've added too much. To fix this, Delishably instructs adding 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until it thickens up. The ideal consistency will depend on what you're baking.

Why did my cheesecake turn out eggy? ›

Not cooking your cake at the right temp or time; cooking your cake for a longer bake time than needed could make your cake taste eggy. When exposed to consistently high heat for extended periods, the sulphur from the egg whites causes a chemical reaction, resulting in an unpleasant taste. Not ideal!
