Homemade Crumble Cheesecake

Written by Kathrin (2 Comments)

What a combination: this delicious crumble cheesecake combines a super creamy curd filling with tasty butter crumbles.

cheesecake with crumbles recipe

Hello there!

Such a cheese crumble cake is not for nothing one of the absolute favorites of many families. Even the "individual parts" - classic cheesecake and crumble cake - are coveted. But together they taste even better!

The fact that grandma's cheesecake with crumbles from the tray is also really uncomplicated, makes us bakers happy of course 😉.

Taste and Occasion

The cheese crumble cake melts in your mouth. The base of classic kneaded dough is beautifully buttery and crumbly; the curd cream tastes very slightly of lemon and is super creamy. And the crunchy crumbles are the perfect icing on top.

What I generally like about cakes is when they are moist - whether made from sponge or shortbread. This recipe is also a moist cheesecake from the baking sheet. In that way, it reminds me a bit of fruit cake with crumbles or rhubarb cake; both delicious as well.

Grandma's ricotta crumble cake from the sheet is just the thing for a big round. The pieces can also be frozen very well.

If you prefer to have a smaller quantity, you can divide the ingredients in half and bake the crumble cheesecake in an approx. 11*9 inches/29*22 cm square baking pan (this means the outer dimensions).

To do this, simply bake the cheese cake from the tray with 500g of cottage cheese, etc; take a total of 2 of the eggs.

Ingredients

For the comparatively quick quark crumble sheet cake, I took my cue from my apricot cake recipe. And I simplified it a bit: Both the base and the topping are made from the same dough. So you only have to prepare a single dough and the curd mixture for the cheese crumble cake.

In my experience, the result is best if you pre-bake the base briefly. However, the recipe should probably work without this extra step.

How to make the Crumble Cheesecake

Let's get started with this delicious crumble cheesecake recipe: First of all, preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Cover a baking tray sized around 11*17 inches/29*44 cm external dimensions with baking paper.

For the dough, knead the cold butter in pieces, flour, baking powder, sugar, egg and salt with a food processor or hand mixer and a dough hook.

Recipe Recommendation

German Bee Sting Cake

Incredibly delicious classic: this fluffy bee sting made from yeast dough is filled with a custard cream, but it also tastes great without the filling as an especially quick alternative.

Now, spread three quarters of the crumble on the baking sheet and press down. Prick the cake several times with a fork and pre-bake for 10 minutes.

For the topping, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is foamy. Add the curd and cornstarch or vanilla pudding powder and mix everything well together with the melted butter and lemon. Spread everything on the pre-baked base.

For the last step, cover cake with remaining crumble and bake again for about 40 minutes.

Top Tip

In the basic version, the cheese crumble cake is without fruit. Which should not prevent you from adding some more fruit 😉 . I can imagine the cheesecake with crumble base especially well with cherries or blueberries.

    Really wanted to try recipes from Baking4Happiness.com however we don't use metric units, and the U.S. Customary units are useless. We cannot measure 0.9cups of flour, or 6.8 tbsp of milk, or 1.1 cups butter, etc.

      Hi Josephine,
      thanks for your kind words - that is indeed not useful (nowhere in the world). I'll check the old recipes and will update them, please reach out to me if there is still one with awkward numbers. I'll try to stick to half's and third's at the most if that is OK. As we are not used to US Customary units, what are the ones you use the most for baking? Cups? Then I'll try to stick to those.

      Thanks for your help and sorry again for the mess here
      Kathrin
