Cappuccino Cheesecake

Hisashiburi Minasan~

好久不見我的cooking blog.這半年忙著生小孩養小孩, 最近終於有時間尋找到有興趣新recipe來試試看.要不然都被我女兒的乾媽笑說我憑那幾招混了10幾年...

這個cheesecake 包含了本人最愛的cheese以及nuts所以很值得一試, 結果也還不賴.

Ingredients

Base

1 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds and walnuts

2 tbsp sugar

50g butter

Filling (我是做比原始recipe少一半的cheese)

500g cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tbsp corn flour(原始recipe是plain flour,但是我為了想做gluten free的蛋糕又一時家裡沒有gluten free plain flour, so I used gluten free cor flour instead)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

1 shot of espresso coffee (1/2 tbsp of instant coffee powder)

(1/8 tsp of ground cinnamon -我不愛cinnamon所以沒有放)

Topping

Thickened cream

Drinking Chocolate Powder (Original recipe是說Coffee beans,但我家沒有阿, 既然cappuccino也時有撒chocolate的就用chocolate powder取代吧~)

chop chop chop~ or you can use an electric grinder

1. Preheat the oven to 160C

2. Combine nuts, sugar, and butter, press onto bottom of 23 cm springform tin. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven to allow to cool.

3. Combine Cream cheese, sugar, and flour, mix with electric mixer ( on medium speed) until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, mix well after each addition. Blend in sour cream.

4. The original recipe dissolves the instant coffee and cinnamon into 1/8 cup of hot water, allow to cool before slowly adding into the cheese mixture. But I used the espresso machine at home, a shot is abit more than 1/8 cup.

Pour the cooled coffee(cinnamon) into the cheese mixture, blend well, pour the mixture over the nut base.

5. Bake for 10 min (230C). Reduce Oven temperature to 120C and continue baking for 1/2 hour (or 1 hour if you are using 1 kg of cream cheese)

Bake in 230C for 6~7 minutes
Then reduce to 120 C for 30 minutes (If using original recipe volume then need to bake for an hour)

烤出來的樣子...不是特別漂亮
還好可以用whipped cream cover up

6. Loosen cake from rim, allow to cool before removing. Chill. Serve topped with whipped cream and sifted chocolate powder (or sprinkled coffee beans)

Whip thickened cream, I used about one small carton of thickend cream and mix on high speed with about 1/2 tbsp of sugar
Over the cream sift chocolate powder (since I dont have coffee beans)

Sour cream原來有著舉足輕重的效果阿~
