Raspberry Cheesecake
- Using a food processor, grind the biscuits and hazelnuts until you obtain a fine texture.
- Add the melted butter and add the chocolate pieces, and mix.
- Attach a piece of baking paper between the ring and the base of a springform pan (or circle) approximately 22 cm in diameter.
- Press cookie mixture firmly into bottom of springform pan.
- Mix the Cream Cheese and sugar on low speed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause cracks or air bubbles as the cake bakes.
- Add the egg whites and yolks gradually, continuing to beat at low speed until smooth. Avoid overbeating.
- Gently incorporate the crème fraîche, then the whipped cream, followed by the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Carefully pour this mixture onto the biscuit base.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (without fan).
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 100°C. Cook for 1 hour without opening the oven.
- Turn off the oven and let the cake cool inside, without opening the door, for 30 minutes.
- Then refrigerate the cake while you prepare the coulis and filling.
- Start by soaking the gelatin in cold water for about 10 minutes.
- In a saucepan, cook the raspberries and sugar over low heat for about 2 minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the gelatin to the raspberry mixture, then let the coulis cool slightly.
- Remove the ring from the cheesecake and clean it carefully.
- Place the cake on a plate, then replace the ring around the cake, covering it with a rhodoid.
- Then pour half of the raspberry coulis onto the cooked base of the cake, leaving about 1 cm of edge, then leave to cool.
- Beat the Cream Cheese with the crème fraîche, egg yolks, vanilla extract, lemon zest and juice until the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the gelatin from the water, letting the excess water drip off, then melt it.
- Mix a small portion of the cream cheese mixture with the melted gelatin, then incorporate this mixture into the remaining cream cheese mixture.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff, add the icing sugar and beat again for about 2 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture.
- Slowly pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake.
- Use the rest of the raspberry coulis that you put in a piping bag (if the coulis has thickened, reheat it slightly) to create a pattern on the surface of the cake. You can draw it according to your preferences.
- Cover the cake and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours.
