The Legendary Leftover Cheese Cheesecake

Introduction

In every kitchen, there’s one rule many passionate cooks follow: never waste good cheese. Inspired by this golden rule, this recipe transforms all those bits and pieces of leftover cheeses into a mouthwatering, creamy, and rich cheesecake that will steal the hearts of anyone who takes a bite. Whether it’s a piece of cheddar, a block of cream cheese, a wedge of brie, or even blue cheese, they can all come together in harmony for this special dessert.

This cheesecake isn’t just a way to save food—it’s a celebration of creativity and flavor.

History

The cheesecake has a story as rich as its flavor. The earliest cheesecakes were made in ancient Greece, served to athletes during the first Olympic games in 776 BC. Romans later spread the recipe throughout Europe, and each region gave it its own twist. In New York, the cheesecake became iconic thanks to the addition of cream cheese.

Today, we take it a step further: honoring all cheeses, big and small, leftover or fresh, to create a new, loveable, sustainable cheesecake!

Formation (How This Cake Comes Together)

The base is a buttery, slightly crunchy crust. The filling is a rich blend of mixed cheeses, sweetened just right, and whipped into a silky texture. After baking, the cheesecake is cooled slowly to prevent cracks and ensure a luscious, creamy bite every time.

Ingredients

For the Cake Base:

  • Butter: 80g, softened
  • Sugar: 100g (½ cup)
  • Eggs: 2 medium
  • All-purpose Flour: 150g (1¼ cups)
  • Baking Powder: 1 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp

For the Cheese Filling:

  • Mixed leftover cheeses: 400g (you can use cream cheese, ricotta, cheddar, gouda, blue cheese, brie—whatever you have!)
  • Sugar: 150g (¾ cup)
  • Heavy Cream: 200ml (¾ cup)
  • Eggs: 3 large
  • Cornstarch: 2 tbsp
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 tbsp
  • Lemon Zest: 1 tsp
  • Optional: 1 tbsp honey for extra sweetness if using strong cheeses.

Instructions/Methods

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift the flour and baking powder together and fold them gently into the mixture.
  6. Press this mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan to form an even crust.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat the mixed leftover cheeses until smooth. (If hard, melt slightly or blend.)
  2. Add the sugar, heavy cream, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Beat until fully combined and silky.
  3. Pour the cheese filling over the prepared base.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly wobbly.
  2. Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside slowly for about 1 hour (this prevents cracking).
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
