Raspberry cheesecake
Comments : 2 Posted in : Dessert on by : Maya Tags: cheesecake, mascarpone, meringue, raspberriesThis is not as hard as it looks. It’s true that I make it rather for special occasions, but really last time I prepared it during my children’s computer class, and I was on time to pick them up on time. So that means barely more than an hour. Just make sure to read the recipe in detail before you start, so that you would understand what the steps are.
It’s fresh and raspberry and cold, a perfect summer dessert!
Ingredients
- 250g frozen raspberries, defrosted.
- 70g almonds, chopped
- 75g meringues, crushed
- 125 white chocolate
- 10g coconut oil
- 3 spoons gelatine
- 1 spoon + 75 sugar
- 600g mascarpone
- 200g whipping cream
- Fresh raspberries for decoration
Instructions
Chocolate meringue base
- Cover a baking pan (20cm diameter) with oil or with baking paper.
- Fry the almonds on a pan without any grease.
- Heat the white chocolate with coconut oil on low heat. Let it chill a little.
- Add the almonds and 45g crushed meringues to the chocolate and mix it delicately.
- Place on a baking pan and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preparing the topping
- Place the mascarpone in a bowl, add 75g sugar, mix it well.
- Place the raspberries in a sieve over another bowl. Squeeze them through as well as you can. You will end up with liquid in the bowl and more solid stuff in the sieve. Add the solid stuff to the bowl and 1 spoon of sugar. Stir it just to dissolve the sugar (more or less)
- Take 1/3 of mascarpone-sugar mixture and blend with raspberry mix.
- At this point you will have 2 bowls one with white mascarpone mix and one with mascarpone raspberry mix.
- Place half the gelatine with 2 tbs of cold water, when it becomes solid heat it up to dissolve it.
- Add it to the white mascarpone mix and work it quickly with a mixer to distribute it well in the batter.
- Take the other half of gelatine, add 2 tbs of cold water and when it becomes solid heat it up to dissolve it, then add to the raspberry mix quickly and work it quickly with a mixer to distribute it well in the batter.
- Place both bowls in the fridge.
- Whisk the cream until stiff. Place half in raspberry mix and half in white mascarpone mix and mix it in well.
Building the cake
- Put a layer of white mix on the chocolate meringue base, then the raspberry mix then and white and raspberry again.
- Place in the fridge for 4 hours.
- Just before serving decorate with remaining meringues and fresh raspberries.
