Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and 1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour.
3. Add the cold, cubed 1/2 cup butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Mix in the 2 tbsp finely chopped almonds.
5. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
1. While the crust is cooling, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Add 2 tbsp orange zest and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
4. Gradually add in the 2 egg yolks, beating well after each addition.
5. Slowly mix in 2 tbsp of heavy whipping cream until fully incorporated and the filling is smooth.
1. Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust and spread it out evenly.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula.
1. Bake in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set (the center may still be slightly jiggly).
2. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
1. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake before removing the springform ring.
2. Slice the cheesecake with a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts for neat slices.
3. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with additional orange zest or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- For a more intense orange flavor, increase the amount of orange zest.
- Use high-quality butter and cream cheese to enhance the overall flavor of the cake.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into your baking pan to ensure it holds together when sliced.
- Chill the cake thoroughly before serving to help it set and develop its flavors.
Sweet cheese cake is an impressive dessert that beautifully balances the richness of cheese with the sweetness of sugar and the zestiness of orange.
