Time 13h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons melted butter
24 ounces cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest (recommended: Meyer lemon)
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 eggs, separated
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
12 ounces creme fraiche
2 tablespoons sugar
Cherry Confit, recipe follows
Serving suggestion: with a dessert wine (recommended: Alsatian Riesling).
1 pound fresh cherries, pitted
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 vanilla bean, split
2 sprigs thyme (tied with string)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and butter together in a mixing bowl. Pour the mixture into the springform pan and using a mixing cup press the crumbs into the base. Using your fingers gently press crumbs into the sides of the pan. Bake for 6 minutes. Let cool.
  • Filling:
  • In a food processor, cream the cream cheese and the sugar together. Add the zest and vanilla, Blend until smooth. Add 5 egg yolks and heavy cream, pulse until smooth. Pour into a large clean bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until a soft froth forms. Add 2 tablespoons sugar slowly to the egg whites and continue to whisk until soft peaks form. Fold into cream cheese, a little bit at a time until fully integrated. Pour into the prepared springform pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until firm. Let cool for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Topping:
  • Mix the creme fraiche and sugar together and gently spread over the top of the cooled cheesecake. Bake for 5 minutes. Let cool until the topping is set or chill overnight and serve. Best served at room temperature.
  • Serve with Cherry Confit.
  • In a medium non-corrosive saucepan place water, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and thyme. Bring to the boil, turn down heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Add cherries and simmer for 1 hour. If more liquid is needed add water. Continue to simmer until the cherry mixture is thick and the cherries are soft. Pour into a clean container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Yield: 6 servings
  • Cooking time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Overall, I thought this cheesecake was pretty good. It was easy to make and it tasted good. I would definitely make it again.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too dense. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I have to say that this recipe is pretty good. The crust is nice and crispy and the filling is creamy and flavorful.

This cheesecake is the best! It's so creamy and smooth, and the crust is perfectly graham crackery. I highly recommend it!

This cheesecake is so easy to make and it always turns out great. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake out of the springform pan. I think I'll try using a regular cake pan next time.

This cheesecake was a little too dense for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if it had been baked for a shorter amount of time.

This cheesecake was a hit at my dinner party! The crust was perfectly graham crackery and the filling was creamy and smooth. I used a springform pan and baked it in a water bath, which I think helped to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
