Categories     Cake     Cheese     Dessert

Yield 1 9" cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

FOR THE CHEESECAKE:
1 1/2 cups cream cheese
1/2 cup fresh goat cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups crème fraîche
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs
FOR THE CHERRIES:
2/3 cup sugar
2 pints sour cherries, pitted
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

  • 1. To make the cheesecake, heat the oven to 325 degrees. Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with foil and place on a baking sheet. 2. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and goat cheese until very smooth. Add the sugar and continue beating until no lumps remain. Beat in the crème fraîche, vanilla and pepper. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions, and beat until combined. 3. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 250 degrees and bake until the cake is just set (it will still wobble a little in the middle), 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. 4. While the cheesecake is cooling, make the cherry topping. Pour the sugar and 2/3 cup water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the cherries and balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cherries soften and release their juices, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cherries to a bowl. Continue cooking the liquid in the pan until the sauce reduces by half, about 10 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and stir the cherries and any juice from the bowl back in. 5. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake from the pan before unmolding and serving with the cherry topping.

This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out very well. It was too runny and the crust was soggy.

This cheesecake is a little too dense for my taste, but the flavor is good.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly, but the cheesecake itself was delicious.

This cheesecake was a hit! The sour cherries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the cheesecake. The crust was also very good, and held up well to the filling.
