Lime And Ginger Cheesecake Food

GINGER LEMON BASQUE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease one side of 2 to 3 sheets of parchment paper. Lay them butter-side up inside a 10-inch springform pan, arranging so that they cover all sides, and crimping the edges to ensure they stay in place. Place the springform pan on a sheet tray.
• In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar and salt. Cream on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides.
• Turn the mixer down to medium and add the condensed milk. Beat to combine, then scrape down the bowl. Add the heavy cream, fresh ginger, ground ginger, vanilla and minced lemon zest. Fully combine, then scrape down the sides.
• Turn the mixer to medium-high and add the eggs one at a time, being sure that each is fully combined before adding the next.
• Add the flour, then beat again, scraping down the sides.
• Pour the cheesecake into the center of the springform pan and tap it lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then rotate. Continue to bake until dark golden brown, another 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely set, 6 hours.
• Remove the cheesecake from the pan, then peel down the paper. (You can leave the paper in place for a rustic look.)
• Mix together the lemon curd, limoncello, sour cream, lemon juice and remaining lemon zest in a bowl.
• Pour evenly over the top of the cheesecake, then sprinkle with the powdered sugar and garnish with the basil. Cut into slices and serve.

LAYERED LIME CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Whizz the biscuits to crumbs in a food processor, or tip into a food bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix with the melted butter, then press into the base of a 20cm springform cake tin. Chill in the fridge until needed.
• Put the cream cheese, icing sugar and lime zest in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Tip in the double cream and continue beating until completely combined. Spoon the cream mixture onto the biscuit base, working from the edges inwards and making sure that there are no air bubbles. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessert spoon. Leave to set in the fridge while you make the glaze.
• Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water. Tip the other ingredients for the glaze into a saucepan with 200ml water. Cook gently until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is simmering. Drain and squeeze the gelatine of any excess water, then stir into the hot syrup to dissolve. Leave everything to infuse until just warm, then sieve the syrup into a jug. When cooled, pour over the cheesecake and put in the fridge overnight to set. Carefully remove the cake from tin before serving.

LIME CHEESECAKE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 to start. You will turn it down to 350 after 15 minutes.
• Position your oven rack to center.
• Butter the bottom of 9 inch springform pan.
• NOTE: Your ingredients should be room temperature.
• Crust:.
• In a small bowl, combine softened butter with crumbs and sugar (first 3 ingredients). Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside or if you want, you can bake this for about 10 minutes to give it a brown crust.
• Filling:.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese on low until very smooth. Gradually add the sugar beat well. Add the eggs one at a time (blending well after each egg). Scrape down sides of bowl when neccessary (turn off machine when doing this or you'll have batter on your ceiling). Stir in the lime juice and zest until well combined. Then stir in the sour cream and mix thoroughly until light and fluffy. You need to have some air in the batter, which gives it a fluffy texture.
• Wrap the bottom of the pan with aluminum foiland then pour batter into prepared pan . Set the pan in a 1 inch water bath. (place pan in larger baking pan and add just 1 " of water to bottom pan) Bake for 15 minutes at 400 THEN reduce to 350 and DO NOT OPEN DOOR! Bake until edges are set and center moves only slightly when pan is shaken, about 50-60 minutes. During last 10 minutes open to GENTLY shake to see if slightly set.
• LEAVE OVEN DOOR OPEN SLIGHLY and turn off the heat while cooling the cake in the oven for about 1 hour. Cover in platic wrap and refrigerate over night to completely set about 6-8 hours.
• To serve:.
• About 20 minutes prior to serving, remove from refrigerator and garnish with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and thin slices of lime on the edges.
• NOTE: If your cake cracked - it's ok you can add cherry topping or lemon curd on top and then sprinkle powdered sugar on top. No worries, it's happened to me a few times too but didn't fail to disappear quickly! :).
