Hello
I am making a No-Bake cheesecake, and I have a major problem to achieve the correct texture like the pastry shops do it..

as a picture is worth a thousand words, I am attaching the texture of the pastry shop cake and mine, the shop cake texture is almost like the baked one, creamy and have a firm structure, mine is more jelly like, not rubbery because I am not adding much gelatine but the texture is not the same and affects the taste too..
i read somewhere that some chefs adds corn starch and others add powdered milk to get this structure, I am clueless here and hoping for some advice..

my recipe:
300 gm cream cheese
200 ml whipping cream
70 gm powdered sugar
i sachet of powdered gelatin on 30 ml of hot water

It looks like you're comparing a baked cheesecake to a no bake cheesecake.

Your no bake has gelatin in it while no baked cheesecake has gelatin in it.

I agree.

Baked and no-bake cheesecake have very different textures.

The OP's no-bake has airy holes in it from the whipped cream to give it structure.

The bakery shop cheesecake is flatter and denser without those holes. It looks like a baked cheesecake to me.

IMO baked cheesecakes are way better in every way than no-bake.
 
Many eons ago I bought a cheesecake mixture in a box. Made it, daughter took one bite and the rest went right into the garbage. I now only make "baked" cheesecakes from scratch.

:( :wacko: Oh the stupid things we do when we are young. :angel:
 
A really easy recipe for cheesecake to bake would be:

3 8oz packages of softened cream cheese

5 eggs

1 cup sugar

2 pre-made pie crusts (Keebler?) from the grocery store

Bake at 325° for 50 minutes or until you think it is done (and I am still figuring out when that is). Let cool completely in the oven and then chill.

Actually, with small pans like these, you can cool your cheesecake on the counter and it won't crack. The only time I've had cracking is when I move to a larger pie pan.

You can also add a little sour cream and vanilla to this if you like. Or you can make one a regular cheesecake and you can melt chocolate for the second one and stir it into the batter before you bake it for a chocolate cheesecake.

This recipe gives a pretty dense texture that would be close to the picture.

I too believe it is a baked cheesecake looking at the texture. I don't see why a shop would even bother making a no-bake cheesecake, at least a decent pastry shop. No-bakes just don't measure up to what most people expect when they spend their money in a shop on a cheesecake.
 
If you want to bake a cheesecake that is fluffy instead of dense, try making an Italian cheesecake. Italian cheesecakes are made with a mixture of ricotta and mascarpone cheeses, which makes it fluffy instead of dense.

I made a Spumoni Italian Cheesecake in the Amoretti Test Kitchen. You can just leave out the extraneous items like syrups, fruits and nuts and make a one dimensional Italian cheesecake if you wish.
