Time 1h20m

Yield 1 9 in cheesecake

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups gingersnap crumbs
6 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra butter for pan
1/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 (12 ounce) log goat cheese
12 ounces creme fraiche or 12 ounces sour cream
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Crust:.
  • Stir all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and about halfway up the sides of the pan.
  • FILLING:.
  • Beat the cream and goat cheeses in the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the creme fraiche and beat to combine. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each egg is added, until thoroughly combined. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until just combined.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Put on a baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking process. If the cheesecake starts to color, tent the springform pan with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely before serving, as it continues to set as it cools. It is best to refrigerate overnight before serving. Cut the cake into wedges and serve with Vanilla Pineapple Compote if desired.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my liking. I would have preferred a lighter, airier texture.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I really enjoyed this cheesecake. The tanginess was subtle and complemented the other flavors well.

The crust on this cheesecake was a little too thick for my taste. I would recommend using less graham cracker crumbs.

This cheesecake failed to hold together. I feel like the recipe needs more crust for the amount of filling.

I was hesitant to try goat cheese in a cheesecake, but I'm so glad I did! The tanginess of the goat cheese perfectly balanced the sweetness of the crust and filling. It was a hit with my family and friends.
