Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bars (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 Easy Press-In Pie Crust, made in a 9-inch springform pan with vanilla wafers
Nonstick cooking spray
2 medium pears, such as Bosc or Bartlett, sliced lengthwise 1/8 inch thick

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese on high until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup maple syrup; beat until smooth. In a medium bowl, beat cream and sugar on high until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, stir about one-third the whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, then fold in remainder. Transfer to crust and refrigerate until firm, 3 hours (or up to 1 day).
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange pear slices in a single layer on sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Roast until pears are soft, 20 minutes. Remove from oven and heat broiler. Brush pears with 2 tablespoons maple syrup and broil until browned in spots, about 4 minutes, rotating sheet frequently. Let cool. To serve, arrange pear slices, overlapping slightly, on cheesecake.

This cheesecake is way too complicated to make. I ended up giving up.

The cheesecake was a little too dense for my liking, but the flavor was good.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I think I might have overbaked it.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The crust was nice and crispy and the filling was smooth and creamy.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I really enjoyed this one. The maple flavor was subtle and the pears were perfectly roasted.
