Amaretto Cheesecake #SummerDessertWeek

By: The Food Hunter

“This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.”

I don't typically make a lot of cheesecakes, but when Anolon sent me their amazing spring-form pan I couldn't resist. This particular pan is made of a durable nonstick surface making food release and clean-up super easy. 



If I  get to choose I prefer an Italian style cheesecake since they tend to be very light & creamy due to the types of cheese used. The recipe below, which I got from Ciao Italia, called for a combination of ricotta and mascarpone  giving it the silkiest finish I've ever had in a cheesecake.

Amaretto Cheesecake

For the Crust
30 small (1-inch) imported amaretti cookies
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Whirl the cookies to a powder in a food processor or use a rolling pin.  Transfer the crumbs to a small bowl and stir in the butter to evenly coat them. Pat the crumb mixture in the bottom of a 9 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch springform pan. Wrap a large sheet of aluminum foil around the outside of the pan.

Refrigerate until needed. Can be made two days ahead of time.
 

For the Filling
2 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup Dixie Crystals sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur


In a stand mixer or by hand with a hand held mixer, beat the ricotta cheese with the mascarpone and sour cream. Beat in the sugar and eggs one at a time. Beat in the salt and flour.  Beat in the extract and the liqueur.

Pour the batter carefully into the prepared pan. Place the pan in a larger pan and carefully pour boiling water into the larger pan until it is about 1-inch up the sides of the springform pan.

Bake on the middle oven shelf for 45 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow the cake to sit in the oven 45 minutes longer.

Remove the cake from the larger pan. Carefully remove and discard the aluminum foil. Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes. Cover the top of the cake loosely with wax paper and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

When ready to serve, allow the cake to come to room temperature. Unlatch the springform pan rim and carefully remove it. Place the cake on its base on a serving platter. Cut into wedges.
