RICH & CREAMY

WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS CAKE

It's fluffy & creamy. It's the perfect dessert for a crowd. NO water bath! Great for the holidays or dinner parties. The best cheesecake ever!

INGREDIENTS

- ALMOND COOKIES - ALMONDS - KOSHER SALT - UNSALTED BUTTER - SUGAR - MASCARPONE - CREAM CHEESE - SOUR CREAM - ORANGES - AMARETTO - VANILLA EXTRACT - EGGS

01

Pulse the cookies, almonds, and salt in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. Then, add the butter until a crust forms.

02

Tip the crumb mixture into a springform pan and press with a measuring cup. Bake at 350°F for 7-8 minutes, until toasty.

03

Cream the butter & sugar. Then, add the mascarpone and cream cheese. Mix in the sour cream, orange zest, amaretto, and vanilla extract.

Add the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth.

04

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake until the cheesecake is set on the edges & a bit jiggly in the center. Cool.

TIP!

Bring the ingredients to room temperature before you mix the filling. This will make for a filling that is smooth & creamy!

NO WATER BATH!

The best part of this cheesecake is there's no water bath! Instead, we'll add a pan of hot water to the rack under the cheesecake to create the same steaming effect.
