Cheesecake has always been one of my favorites, every time I see it on the menu I have to order it, but even if it looks like a simple cake there are not many places where you can find that perfect one. My two favorite places for a cheesecake are De Bakkerswinkel (Rotterdam) and Restaurante Susperregi (near San Sebastian).
I am still looking for the perfect recipe at home...this last weekend I tried the one from Made in America. It's the classic New York Cheesecake...it was good and easy! If you want to try it at home too, here is the recipe! Ingredients: 175g sugar 125g creme fraîche 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tbsp flour 600g cream cheese (Philadelphia) 100g butter 1 vanilla pod 200g graham crackers 3 eggs Let's bake! 1. Preheat the oven 180º-200º First crumble the graham crackers and mix them with the melted butter and the cinnamon. Use this to make the bottom of your cake. Press the mixture on the bottom of your springform cake tin and place it in the fridge. 2. Mix the cream cheese, vanilla, flour, sugar, eggs and the creme fraîche. You should get a smooth creamy batter. 3. Pour the filling in the springform and bake for 10 mins. Reduce the oven temperature to 120º and bake for another 30 mins. 4. Let the cake cool down and then leave it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Enjoy!

There is nothing better to do in a cold winter day as today than enjoying a cup of tea while looking for some nice recipes to cook the following days...I'll keep you posted! 1. The second fermentation
Take all the air from the dough and let it rest for another 15 minutes. Take the dough and make a hole in the middle using your thumb and start shaping the roscón stretching the dough slowly and carefully. Place it on a baking tray and glaze it with some egg. Let it rest until it doubles the volume. Paint with egg again and decorate to taste. You can put laminate confit orange or almond or just a little bit of sugar soaked in water to make it grainy. 2. Oven Bake it in preheated oven at 190º for 25-30 mins. It must get a nice brown color. 3. You can eat it like this or fill it with some cream or whatever you like. Enjoy! |
