A different cheesecake--made with Swiss cheese.

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Cheesecake Recipes

Time P1DT3h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup ground walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups cottage cheese
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
8 ounces finely shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
¼ teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 pears - peeled, cored and sliced
¾ cup currant jelly

Steps:

  • For crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, ground walnuts, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press onto bottom and part way up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill crust while preparing filling.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat cottage cheese in small mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until almost smooth, about 5 minutes; set aside. Beat cream cheese in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. On medium speed, beat in Swiss cheese and cottage cheese until well-blended, about 3 minutes. Mix in 1 cup sugar, vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually blend in flour.
  • Wash egg beaters well, so no trace of batter remains. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form. Lift the beater straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly. Fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the cheesecake batter to lighten; fold in remaining egg whites. Pour batter into prepared crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven until center is set and doesn't jiggle when pan is shaken gently, 60 to 65 minutes.
  • Turn oven heat off. Open oven door and let cheesecake cool in oven. It is normal for the cake to sink slightly in center. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
  • Place cake on serving plate; carefully remove sides of pan.
  • For glaze, place pear slices in a decorative pattern on top of cheesecake. Heat currant jelly in small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Spoon small amount over pear slices until all slices are coated; reserve remaining jelly. Refrigerate glazed cake at least one hour. To serve, reheat jelly and spoon a small amount over each slice of cheesecake.

Tips:

  • For a creamier cheesecake, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
  • To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath.
  • Make sure the cheesecake is completely cooled before serving.
  • Garnish the cheesecake with fresh herbs, berries, or a drizzle of honey.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the crust so that it fits inside the plate.
  • You can also make this cheesecake in individual ramekins. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

This Baby Swiss Appetizer Cheesecake is a delicious and easy-to-make party appetizer. It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and it's sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, give this recipe a try.
