"But cheddar is a versatile cheese that comes in many textures and flavors, from mild and creamy to crumbly and sharp, and each will give your cheesecake a different result depending on what you're looking to create. A sharp, aged cheddar will give you a stronger, nuttier flavor and crumblier texture, while a mild one will provide a pleasant savory note and slightly firmer texture than using cream cheese alone."
"Traditionally made with a cream cheese base, cheesecake recipes might also include similarly textured cheeses such as ricotta or mascarpone. But if you want to step out of the box and try something new, you can incorporate other kinds of cheeses for a change of pace in both texture and flavor, and cheddar is an option that makes perfect sense to add an interesting twist to your cheesecake and other favorite desserts."
Cheesecake appears in many global styles, from Basque burnt to Japanese-style and New York classic, spanning dense, cakey to soft, delicate textures. Traditional recipes use cream cheese, but similarly textured cheeses like ricotta or mascarpone can be used. Cheddar can be incorporated to change both texture and flavor, with varieties from mild and creamy to crumbly and sharp producing different results. A sharp aged cheddar adds stronger, nuttier flavor and crumblier texture, while a mild cheddar yields a pleasant savory note and slightly firmer texture than cream cheese alone. Suggested proportions include replacing one-sixth of cream cheese with shredded cheddar, about 8 ounces per 32 ounces, or equal parts.
