In reply to Monica. Hi Monica! My pan typically doesn't have an issue with sticking so I didn't use parchment when I baked it and took a picture. I do prefer to use the parchment though. You can just leave it on the bottom. It's going to be quite difficult to pull the parchment off of the bottom of the cheesecake without breaking the entire thing. Enjoy! :)

When do you remove the parchment paper? I see yours in the pic in the bottom of the springform pan but no paper so you must’ve removed it… just want to have a plan and there’s no video this time.

I made two-9” and one-4.5” of these Malted Cheescakes and they came out absolutely delicious. I was worried about the malted shortbread crust!! But my fears were squashed when I tasted the crust of one 4.5” that I felt I didn’t have enough batter to fill because I wanted the larger cheesecakes to feel substantial. I would make cookies out of this crust recipe and drizzle or dip with chocolate:) My daughter and I munched on the crust as an appetizer while the cheesecakes cooled and then set in the refrigerator, sooooooo great!
I posted pics on my Instagram and would love it if you checked them out. Your recipes are always reliable and I appreciate you! Thanks 🫶🏻

In reply to jamie. Hi Jaime:) Buy Anthony’s Malted Milk Powder Non-Diastatic / Non GMO from Amazon where I bought it. I used it in Malted milk shakes and the taste of the malt powder is very tasty and definitely like an old fashioned malted sold in ice cream shops. In my opinion Haagan Daz is the best ice cream to use and just add the malt powder to an ice cream shake. It’s that easy. Hope this brightens your day. Good luck!

I love malted milk shakes too. So I bought malt powder and malt balls to make your Malted Milk Cheesecake. But before I did I used the malt powder to make malteds for me and my kids. It’s not as DRAMATIC because all you do is add the desired quantity of malt powder dependent on your taste to an ice cream shake. You don’t have to go anywhere for a malted! I used Chocolate and Coffee Haagen-Dazs ice cream, crème, and malt powder. It was delicious! I personally like a good amount of the malt powder. Start with a tablespoon or so and go from there. You can add chocolate syrup or use milk instead of cream. But I’m sure you don’t need guidance on how to make a milkshake and add malt powder;) 😉
I am making your Malted Milk Cheescake now. I’ll keep you updated:)

In reply to Madison. Hi Madison! I'm so glad you have enjoyed everything so much! I haven't tried removing that powder so I honestly can't say how it would work or if there would need to be any other alterations needed. I'm sorry. :(

In reply to Sam. I've tried so many of your recipes and they are always amazing! I'm wanting to use this shortbread crust on another cheesecake recipe without the malted milk powder. Can I just leave it out or would you recommend adding more flour or something to replace it?

In reply to jamie. Hi Jamie! It sounds like I really have to find myself a malted milkshake now! There are a few small ice cream shops around me that may have it. I have just never looked. I will certainly be on the lookout for them now, you have convinced me. :)

At the risk of saying something depressing that others have already said (I didn’t stop to read the other comments), OMG Sam you’ve never had a malted milkshake? WHAT?! Okay, so my spouse and I were born in 1972 & 1981 and we were both craving a chocolate malt this one time and we discovered, to our horror, that NO ONE had them anymore (we drove to a few places, then started calling around to see who had them, and couldn’t find one anywhere). We were just like, WHAT? How could they just disappear from the earth? Prior to that moment, we’d always assumed they continued to exist, because our whole lives, at a LOT of places, you could always ask for a malt, which just meant they added malt powder to the shake (we think). And then we were so sad that day… was it 10 years ago already? We’re really not sure. We though, okay, this is just a problem of living in Los Angeles. Surely normal cities still have them. But it seems like you’re saying this is not a thing anymore anywhere! How can this be?! Sam, I am truly sorry you’ve never had the pleasure to enjoy a malt. Because chocolate malt balls are just not the same. For one, the waxy chocolate-like substance on those is usually terrible. And it’s just not the same. You must make it a quest to find one. And now you’ve informed us, we must find a place during some road trip, some day, for our baby (she’s only 19mo right now, she can’t eat sugar yet, lol) to try one. You’re breaking our hearts, for you and for us and for our baby! Maybe there’s malt powder to be purchased and you can find a recipe for a malted milk shake and we don’t need to go anywhere. You are really missing out. I mean it. This is not a relic of the 50s, this is seriously the best version of a milk shake!!!

In reply to Sue. Hi Sue! Sorry about the confusion. You will need 24 oz of cream cheese total. Usually cream cheese is sold in 8 oz packages, so you would need 3 of them. Make sure to use the brick-style cream cheese and not the spreadable kind.

Question: you say 24 oz packages of cream cheese? Then do not give a count, 1 or 2

Honey you should sell your cakes and pies. I’d buy them. The malted cheesecake looks amazing! I love to cook but suck at baking. I wish you the best. You seem to be very talented.
