Инструкции
- Preheat oven to 350 F.Combine flour, gingersnap crumbs and salt in a bowl. Add in melted buter and mix till an even, crumbly texture.
- Press crust into a lightly greased 10-inch springform pan, pressing up the sides a bit.
- Bake for 12-15 min. Allow to cold.
- Filling:Reduce oven temperature to 300 F.Beat cream cheese till smooth and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
- Gradually add in sugar, again scraping the sides of the bowl often. Add flour, vanilla, rum extract, nutmeg and salt and blend.
- Add in Large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape filling over baked crust.
- Place cheesecake pan into a larger baking pan. Pour boiling water 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Bake for 1 hour and 30 min.
- Allow cheesecake to sit for 1 hour (out of water) before chilling. Refrigerateover night.
- Sugared Fruits:Whisk egg white just till foamy.
- Brush surface of fruits with egg whites, and sprinkle with superfine sugar to coat. Set fruit on a cooling rack to dry for 2-4 hrs. Don't chill.
- Spiked Chantilly Cream:Combine the whipping cream, sugar, dark rum and vanilla extract in a clean bowl and whip till medium stiff peaks form.
- To Assemble:Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen, and remove springform pan. Use extra gingersnap crumbs to coat the outside of the cheesecake.
- Top cheesecake with sugared fruits and either spread a some of the spiked Chantilly cream over top or possibly serve alongside.
- Creamy and rich, just like the festive beverage, I like to serve this cheesecake with a hint of rum in the topping. Everyone will be asking for seconds of this dessert!
