When it comes to baking, sometimes you just want to get right to the good part – the cake. While one person might enjoy plopping a mix into the oven and letting it do its thing, other people prefer to take a more hands-on approach by making their own crust from scratch and adding in fillings from scratch.
A cheesecake mix is a pre-made blend of ingredients designed to make a cheesecake. Most mixes come with egg, sugar, butter, and flour, but some also include sour cream or yogurt as optional ingredients.
The benefits of using a cheesecake mix are manifold. For one, it saves you time in the kitchen: you simply need to combine the ingredients and bake the cake according to the package directions. Second, a cheesecake mix typically contains components that are standard in most cheesecakes–such as eggs and sugar–so it's a good starting point if you're new to baking cheesecakes.
Third, using a cheesecake mix means that you can easily customize your cheesecake recipe by adding variations (like adding different types of cheese) without having to worry about altering the ratios of individual ingredients. Fourth, mixing a cheesecake mix means that you can avoid potential disasters like overbaking or underbaking your cake; the resulting cake will be evenly baked and will not be too firm or too soft.
Finally, using a cheesecake mix makes it easier to portion out your batter; many mixes come with pre-measured cups or servings.
If you're interested in baking your own cheesecake, but are a little intimidated by the idea of trying to make it from scratch, why not try using a cheesecake mix? These mixes will provide all of the necessary ingredients and instructions so that you can create an amazing cheesecake without any fuss.
