MAPLE CHEESECAKE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces shortbread cookies, finely crushed (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
2/3 cup maple sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup pure maple syrup (grade A; dark or robust), plus more for serving
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 325˚. Combine the crushed cookies, melted butter and salt in a large bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan. Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a rack; let cool 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the maple sugar and beat, scraping down the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the sour cream. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Beat in the maple syrup and vanilla until smooth.
  • Brush the side of the pan above the crust with melted butter. Wrap the outside of the pan (bottom and halfway up the side) with foil to prevent leaks; set in a large roasting pan. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  • Transfer the cheesecake in the roasting pan to the oven and carefully pour boiling water into the roasting pan so it comes about halfway up the side of the springform pan. Bake until the edges of the cheesecake are set but the center still jiggles slightly, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven and open the door for 5 seconds to let out some heat. Close the oven door and leave the cheesecake in the oven until fully set on top but the center still jiggles slightly, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and remove the foil. Transfer to a rack and let cool 2 hours in the pan. Run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen (do not remove the springform ring), then cover and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 8 hours or overnight. Serve with maple syrup for drizzling.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

For syrup
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup maple sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons water
3/4 cup chopped pecans
For filling
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
5 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
For dough
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (about) milk

Steps:

  • Make syrup:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 15 x 10 x 1-inch nonstick jelly roll pan. Mix brown sugar, maple syrup, unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons water in heavy small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; bring mixture to boil. Boil until candy thermometer inserted into mixture reaches 240°F, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chopped pecans
  • Make filling:
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and butter in medium bowl until well blended. Set filling aside.
  • Make dough:
  • Mix unbleached flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Using fork, cut in unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in enough milk to form moist dough. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough in half. Flatten dough into disks. Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Using 3 3/4- to 4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out 8 rounds from dough. (Reroll dough scraps if necessary.) Place generous 2 teaspoonfuls cream cheese filling in center of each dough round. Spread filling over rounds, leaving 1/4-inch border. Roll up rounds jelly roll style. Place cheese pastries on prepared jelly roll pan, seam side down, spacing apart. Repeat with remaining dough disk and cheese filling.
  • Bake pastries until firm to touch and beginning to brown at edges, about 25 minutes. Spoon syrup mixture over pastries. Bake 5 minutes longer. Let stand 1 minute. Using metal spatula, transfer pastries to platter. Serve pastries warm or at room temperature.

MAPLE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING - BAKED



Maple Cupcakes With Maple Cream Cheese Frosting - Baked image

From Baked Explorations by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. Use only real maple syrup in this recipe.

Provided by Brookelynne26

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, slightly softened, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, at room temperature
2 cups pure maple syrup (I use grade B to bake with but any grade will suffice)
3 egg yolks
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Make the Maple Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two 12-cup cupcake pans with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and shortening until ribbonlike. Turn the mixer to low and stream in the maple syrup. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the mixture is nearly uniform in color, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the egg yolks and egg, one at a time, and beat until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add half of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until incorporated. Stream in the milk. Stop the mixer, add the rest of the flour, then turn the mixer on until just combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold in the walnuts.
  • Fill the prepared cupcake pan about three-quarters full. Bake the cupcakes for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Note: These cupcakes take longer to bake than traditional cupcakes due to the maple syrup.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool for 15 minutes in the cupcake pan, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Maple Frosting: In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter until it is completely smooth. Add the cream cheese and beat until combined.
  • Add the sugar and the maple syrup and beat until smooth. Be careful not to overbeat the frosting or it will lose structure. (At this point, if you want to, you can tightly cover the frosting and refrigerate it for a day. Let it soften at room temperature before using.).
  • Assemble the Cupcakes: There are many ways to frost a cupcake. If you have a pastry bag, simply fit with the largest tip, fill the bag with frosting, and pipe enough to cover the cupcake in a big mound. If you do not have a pastry bag, use an ice cream scoop with a release mechanism to scoop the frosting and dispense it onto the top of the cupcake. You can also use an offset spatula to frost the cupcakes.
  • Refrigerate any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring cupcakes to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese for the best results. Look for cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable, with no lumps.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start making the pastries. This will help the cream cheese blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute an equal amount of honey or agave nectar.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the pastries tough.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the pastries will be dense and dry.
  • Bake the pastries until they are golden brown. Overbaking can make the pastries dry and crumbly.
  • Let the pastries cool completely before you frost them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These maple cream cheese pastries are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With their creamy filling and flaky crust, these pastries are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these maple cream cheese pastries a try. You won't be disappointed!
