Shortbread crust:
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup shortbread cookie crumbs made from 6 ounces shortbread cookies (such as Walkers), finely ground in a food processor
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of fine sea salt
Cheesecake:
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces, room temperature
Pinch of fine sea salt
10 ounces cream cheese, cut into 10 pieces, room temperature
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • For shortbread crust:
  • Lightly coat an 8x8x2" baking pan with nonstick spray; line with plastic wrap, leaving a generous overhang.
  • Mix crumbs, butter, and salt in a medium bowl until it resembles moist sand. Press evenly onto bottom of pan. Cover; chill.
  • For cheesecake:
  • Place 2 tablespoons. cold water in a small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin is soft, 5-10 minutes.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat sugar, butter, and salt in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With motor running, add cream cheese 1 piece at a time, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Beat in crème fraîche, orange juice, and lime juice.
  • Gently heat gelatin over lowest heat, stirring constantly, just until gelatin dissolves. Scrape gelatin into cream cheese mixture; beat to blend. Fold in whipped cream just to incorporate. Pour mixture over crust; smooth top. Chill until set, about 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Cheesecake can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled, or freeze airtight for up to 2 weeks.
  • For ginger-lime candied raspberries:
  • Cook first 3 ingredients, 1 tablespoon mint, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan over low heat until raspberries are soft and juices are released, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill foratleast1hourandupto1day.
  • Using plastic wrap overhang, lift cheese-cake from pan and place on a flat surface. Cut into pieces; place on plates. Spoon candied raspberries over; drizzle with sauce and garnish with mint.

I thought this cheesecake was just okay. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit too dense for my taste. I also found the ginger-lime candied raspberries to be a bit overpowering.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my cheesecake, but it turned out really dense and dry. The flavor was also a bit bland. I'm not sure if I'll be trying this recipe again.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The ginger-lime candied raspberries were very flavorful, though. Overall, I thought this was a good cheesecake.
