MASCARPONE CANNOLI CHEESECAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 6h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 large dry almond-anise biscotti, or your favorite biscotti
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
One 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
3 eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
Italian cherries in syrup, such as Amarena, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pulse the biscotti to fine crumbs in a food processor. Drizzle in the butter, add the salt and pulse until the mixture has the texture of wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, until the crust smells toasted and is beginning to brown. Set aside to cool while you make the filling. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, mascarpone and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula. Add the salt, vanilla and lemon zest; beat on medium speed until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center of the cake still moves just slightly.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the collar.
  • Top each slice of cheesecake with a spoonful of cherries, if using.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup chocolate-covered almonds
2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, liqueur, and almond and vanilla extracts until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Fold in the raw and chocolate-covered almonds.
  • Dust your hands and the dough with flour; divide in half and shape into two 3-by-12-inch logs on the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake until puffed and set, about 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cutting board.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Slice the logs crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces; arrange cut-side down on the baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake, flipping halfway through, until dry and golden, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Place the white chocolate and semisweet chocolate in 2 small microwave-safe bowls; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted. Drizzle on the biscotti; let set 30 minutes.
