Christmas Cheesecake

Christmas Cheesecake
    Nutmeg cookie crust
  • Place the nutmeg and cookies in a blender and grind for about 30 seconds, until well crumbled. Place the cookie mixture in a bowl, add the butter and continue to mix well.
  • Insert a piece of baking paper between the circle and the bottom of a springform pan (approximately 22 cm in diameter). Line the mold with plastic wrap.
  • Spread the mixture in the mold, press to form a crust at the bottom and up to half of the wall of the mold (about 4 cm). Cover and place in the refrigerator.
  • Cheesecake
  • Soak the gelatin in cold water for about 10 minutes.
  • Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod and mix them with a small amount of sugar. Whisk the vanilla, remaining sugar, cream and orange zest until light foam.
  • Soften the cream cheese by incorporating the fresh cream.
  • Heat the orange juice. Remove the gelatin from the water and melt it in the hot orange juice. Cool the gelatin mixture with a little of the cream cheese mixture and incorporate it into the rest of the mixture.
  • Spread the cheese over the biscuit base in the springform pan. Place the covered cake in the refrigerator until the next day.
  • Jelly
  • Soak gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 dl of blackcurrant/cherry juice to just below boiling point, remove the pan from the heat and melt the gelatin in the mixture.
  • Leave to cool while adding the rest of the juice. Very carefully pour the jelly over the cheese.
  • Presentation
  • Carefully remove the cake from the mold, remove the cling film and place the cake on a plate. Sprinkle with rosemary sprigs.
