Description
This German cheesecake recipe is lighter and fluffier than the traditional American cheesecake that tends to be quite rich and dense!
Ingredients for 6 people
1 pièce pie crust dough
2,25 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
0,8 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
4 pièce eggs
1 cup sugar
2,5 tbsp flour
1 pincée salt
0,6 cup raisins that have been soaked for more than an hour in rum (optional)
Step 1/3
Roll out the dough and place it in a pie pan. Bake at 350 °F for 10 minutes.
Step 2/3
Meanwhile, mix the ricotta cheese with the sugar, salt, and sifted flour. Mix in the crème fraîche and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer to obtain a smooth and homogeneous texture (add in the marinated raisins if you want this variation of the recipe).
Step 3/3
Pour the mixture over the dough and bake for 45 minutes at 350 °F. Let cool and serve chilled.
Tip
You can accompany your cake with a quick homemade red fruit coulis! Mix 4 cups of a mixture of red fruits (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackcurrants...) with 2 tablespoons of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice, until you get a smooth coulis. Keep chilled until you are ready to use it on the cake!
