Raspberry Ribbon Cheesecake Recipe 455

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for crust and press into the bottom and 1- 1/2 inches up the sides of a greased 9- inch springform pan.
• Chill crust for one hour or until firm.
• To make raspberry sauce, puree 2- 1/2 cups of raspberries in a blender.
• Press pureed raspberries through a sieve in order to remove seeds; discard seeds.
• Add water to pureed raspberries, if necessary, to measure 1 cup.
• In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch.
• Stir in pureed raspberries; allow mixture to come to a boil.
• Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove saucepan from heat; stir in lemon juice and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar,flour, and vanilla until fluffy.
• Add egg whites; beat on low speed until just blended.
• Stir in whipping cream.
• Pour half of the cream cheese mixture in to the crust.
• Top cream cheese with 3/4 cup of the raspberry sauce.
• (Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce) Spoon the remainder of the cream cheese mixture over the top of the raspberry sauce.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 35- 40 minutes or until center of the cheesecake is almost set.
• Remove from oven; immediately run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen crust.
• Cool cheesecake on a wire rack for 1 hour.
• Refrigerate cheesecake overnight.
• To make topping, add orange juice to the refrigerated raspberry sauce.
• Gently fold in raspberries.
• Spoon over cheesecake.

Steps:

• Blitz the biscuits in a food processor or tip into a food bag and bash to fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until the mixture looks like damp sand. Tip the buttery crumbs into a 20cm springform tin and press into the base using the back of a spoon until you have a smooth, even layer. Chill until needed.
• Tip the soft cheese, sugar, vanilla, and cream into a bowl and beat using an electric whisk until thick and creamy. Fold in about two-thirds of the raspberries, pressing the berries lightly against the side of the bowl as you do to squeeze out some of their juices and lightly ripple the cream.
• Scrape the cheesecake mixture over the chilled base and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill for at least 6 hrs, or preferably overnight. Can be made up to two days ahead and chilled. To serve, carefully remove from the tin, scatter with the remaining raspberries and dust with icing sugar, if using.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Combine the raspberries, sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a simmer. Turn the heat to medium-high and continue to cook, while stirring, until it is thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into a fine mesh sieve set over a bowl, and press the raspberry purée through with a spatula, scraping the underside of the sieve. If you'd like, add a teaspoon of seeds back to the purée for texture. Discard the remaining seeds. You should have about 3/4 cup/180 milliliters of raspberry purée. Chill the purée while you prepare the rest of the cheesecake.
• Make the crust: If making your own graham cracker crumbs, add the graham crackers to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, or to a resealable bag, and pulse or crush until you have fine crumbs. You will have about 1 3/4 cups. Pour the crumbs into a bowl (or leave them in the bowl of the food processor), and add the butter, sugar and salt, and stir or pulse until the butter is evenly distributed and the crumbs are moistened. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray, and pour the crumb mixture into the pan. Use a measuring cup or flat-bottomed glass to very firmly press the mixture into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
• Make the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla extract and salt. Mix on low speed until combined, then turn the mixer up to medium and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Stop the mixer to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Add the sour cream and stir until just combined. Switch to the whisk attachment, and with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the cream. Turn up to high and whip until thick and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stop the mixer once or twice to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and use an offset spatula to smooth the top. Dot the top with 1/4 cup/60 milliliters of chilled raspberry purée, about 1 teaspoon per dollop. Using a paring knife or offset spatula (for thick swirls) or wooden skewer (for fine swirls), swirl the purée into the cream cheese mixture. Chill at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• To unmold, run an offset spatula or thin knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the crust before removing the ring, and use a clean, hot knife for the smoothest slices. Serve cold, with the leftover raspberry purée and fresh raspberries, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan. With your hands, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan and about 1-inch up the sides. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• To make the filling, cream the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and add the eggs and egg yolks, 2 at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the bowl and beater, as necessary. With the mixer on low, add the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly and pour into the cooled crust.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 225 degrees F and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door wide. The cake will not be completely set in the center. Allow the cake to sit in the oven with the door open for 30 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and allow it to sit at room temperature for another 2 to 3 hours, until completely cooled. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the cake from the springform pan by carefully running a hot knife around the outside of the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the springform pan for serving.
• To make the topping, melt the jelly in a small pan over low heat. In a bowl, toss the raspberries and the warm jelly gently until well mixed. Arrange the berries on top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Note: Measure your springform pan. The bottom of mine measures 9 inches, but it says 9 1/2. I put the springform pan on a sheet pan before putting it in the oven to catch any leaks.

Steps:

• For the crust, whirl biscuits and melted butter in a food processor until a chunky crumb develops. Then dump the buttery cookie crumble into a springform pan, spreading the mixture evenly over the bottom and pushing it up against the edges so a nice crust develops.
• For the ripple, combine raspberries, sugar, and water in a pot over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a steady simmer, and let it bubble for 20-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and it thickens into a cohesive sauce.
• For the filling, whisk together cream cheese and condensed milk, adding the extract along the way. Whisk until the ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth. Pour the filling over the crust, spreading it evenly. Then add several dabs of the raspberry mixture on top. Run a couple of toothpicks or a skewer through the filling, from raspberry dab to raspberry dab, creating swirls throughout.
• Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• CRUST: Combine the first three ingredients. Press into bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a greased 9 inch spring form pan. Chill 1 hour or until firm. RASPBERRY SAUCE: In a blender, cover and process raspberries until pureed. Press through a sieve; discard seeds. Add water if necessary to measure 1 cup. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in raspberry juice; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and set aside. FILLING: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla until smooth. Add egg whites; beat on low just until blended. Stir in cream. Pour half of the filling into prepared crust.
