ALMOND JOY CHEESECAKE



Almond Joy Cheesecake image

I took this recipe from a Bon Appetit recipe. I like to bake cheesecakes at a lower temperature than most recipes call for--so I lower the baking temperature, use a water bath for moisture and let the cheesecake cool more slowly in the cooling oven. You get less cracks and the texture is creamier and smoother.

Yield Makes 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
1 tablespoon coconut extract
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Glaze
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap outside of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides with foil. FInely grind cracker crumbs, coconut, almonds and sugar in processor. Add butter; process until moist crumbs form. Press mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up sides of pan. Bake crust until set and beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. Cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
  • For filling: Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Mix in coconut and extract . Fold in almonds. Transfer filling to crust. Bake until cake is puffed and no longer moves when pan is shaken, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool completely on rack.
  • For glaze: Combine 1 cup chocolate chips, cream and vanilla in small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Cool until glaze begins to thicken but can still be poured, about 30 minutes. Pour glaze over cooled cake; spread evenly. Chill cake overnight.
  • Run small knife around sides of cake to loosen. Release pan sides.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your cheesecake. Opt for full-fat cream cheese, unsweetened chocolate, and real almond extract.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients. If your cream cheese is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and may cause the cheesecake to curdle.
  • Don't overmix the cheesecake batter: Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: This will help the cheesecake to set properly and develop its full flavor. Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

This Almond Joy cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy coconut filling, chocolate ganache topping, and toasted almonds, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit. Follow the tips above to make sure your cheesecake turns out perfect. Enjoy!
