Goat Cheese Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust:
• Stir all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and about halfway up the sides of the pan.
• To make the filling:
• Beat the cream and goat cheeses in the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the creme fraiche and beat to combine. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each egg is added, until thoroughly combined. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until just combined.
• Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Put on a baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking process. If the cheesecake starts to color, tent the springform pan with aluminum foil.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely before serving, as it continues to set as it cools. It is best to refrigerate overnight before serving. Cut the cake into wedges and serve with Vanilla Pineapple Compote.
• Say cheesecake!
• Combine the brown sugar, water, rum, and vanilla beans in a saucepan over medium heat. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, add the pineapple and stir until well mixed. Simmer until the liquid has reduced to a syrupy consistency and the pineapple is soft.
• Let cool and serve as an accoutrement to yummy desserts like goat cheese cheesecake!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter (or spray) a 9 inch cake pan and dust with granulated sugar, tapping out the excess.
• Put the goat cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until smooth.
• Stir in the egg yolks two at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Mix in the flour until incorporated.
• Put the egg whites in another mixer bowl and whip on medium until soft peaks form.
• Using a spatula, fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cake cool to room temperature, then run a knife around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the cake before inverting a platter on top of the pan and then inverting plate and pan.
• Lift off the pan to serve and top the cake with berries.
• The cake may be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated, with the berries added just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, sugar and vanilla seeds and beat until smooth and creamy. Add the mascarpone and beat until smooth. Add the eggs and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary. Strain the mixture into a bowl.
• Tightly wrap the outside of an 8-inch springform pan with foil, making sure there are no gaps. Spoon the mixture into the pan and place it in the center of a larger baking pan. Pour enough very hot water into the baking pan to reach two-thirds of the way up the side of the springform pan. Cover the entire baking pan with foil. Pierce the foil in several places with a knife. Bake for 1 hour, then lift off a corner of the foil to allow the steam to escape. Re-cover the pan and bake 50 minutes longer, or until the cake looks set around the edges but is still slightly jiggly in the center.
• Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. The cake can be made up to 2 days in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator. Serve with seasonal fruit, fruit sorbet or nut brittle.
