I’ve made this red velvet cheesecake several times by combining a few different recipes and it is delicious. All my friends always ask me to make this and it’s always a hit.
Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese, at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring, or desired amount
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Step 2
Combine cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in butter until well combined. Mix in cornstarch, flour, cocoa powder, vinegar, and vanilla until well combined. Add sour cream, eggs, and red food coloring; mix until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and bake for 1 more hour. Turn the oven off and let cake sit inside until completely firm, about 3 hours.
Step 4
Remove from the oven and set on counter until completely cool. Then refrigerate 8 hours to overnight for best taste and texture.
Cook’s Notes:
If you want a regular cheesecake instead of red velvet, add in 1 tablespoon lemon juice instead of white vinegar and omit cocoa and red food coloring.
