Categories     dessert

Time 7h40m

Yield 9 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
One 9-ounce package chocolate wafer cookies
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Four 1/4-ounce packages unflavored powdered gelatin
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups white cranberry juice
2 1/2 cups chilled sweet white wine, such as Riesling
1/2 pint blueberries (around 16 berries)
One 20-ounce can lychees
Red gel food coloring, for the lychees

Steps:

  • Spray the inside of a 9-inch springform pan that is at least 2 1/2 inches tall evenly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Process the chocolate wafer cookies, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until the cookies are broken down into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until just combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. (Do not overmix or the crust will become pasty.) Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, then freeze while you make the cheesecake mixture.
  • Combine 1 package gelatin with 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla and a pinch of salt and beat on medium-high speed until incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Microwave the gelatin and water, stirring as needed, until melted, about 30 seconds. Add the gelatin to the cream cheese mixture and beat on medium-high speed to combine, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture into the springform pan and smooth out the top. Tap the pan a few times on a tabletop to release any air bubbles in the cheesecake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  • Once the cheesecake is set, prepare the white wine gelatin. Pour the white cranberry juice into a medium saucepan and sprinkle over the remaining 3 packages gelatin. Let sit until the gelatin is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and heat over low heat, whisking occasionally, just until the gelatin and sugar dissolve, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the gelatin mixture into a large liquid measuring cup and stir in the white wine. Use a spoon to scoop away any bubbles at the surface. Refrigerate, stirring every 10 minutes, until the gelatin just begins to thicken and is the consistency of thin fruit jelly, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, gently push a blueberry into the cavity of each lychee. Press the eyeballs firmly into the cheesecake layer, creating a spiral design. Dip a toothpick into the red food coloring and paint lines on the lychees to resemble bloodshot eyeballs.
  • Gently pour the wine mixture evenly around the fruit, coming up about 1/4 inch. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes. Pour the remaining gelatin mixture over the cheesecake and refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Use an offset spatula to carefully loosen the sides of the cheesecake from the pan, then open the clasp and remove the outer ring. Cut into slices and serve immediately.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

Time 7h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
¾ cup whole milk
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Press into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While crust cools, mix apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon until coated and set aside.
  • Beat cream cheese and white sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Slowly add milk. Best in eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream, flour, and vanilla extract on low speed or by hand until smooth. Do not overmix; you may have some small bits of cream cheese in the mix, but those will melt as the cheesecake cooks.
  • Pour 1/2 of the filling over the prepared crust. Arrange coated apples over the filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with remaining filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  • While cheesecake is baking, combine flour, brown sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Sprinkle quickly over the cheesecake. Continue baking until set, about 20 minutes more.
  • Turn the oven off but do not open the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for at least 4 hours; this helps prevent cracking. Refrigerate to allow cake to fully set before serving, 2 to 4 hours more.

  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help to enhance the flavor and texture.
