Table of Contents[Hide][Show]
Ingredients
Crust:
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ tsp. baking powder (10 g)
- 2½ tsp. vanilla sugar (10 g)
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 1¾ butter sticks (200 g)
- 3 egg yolks
- ½ cup ground walnuts/pecans
Filling:
- 2 cups heavy cream (500 ml)
- 1 lbs. 5% quark creamy soft cheese (500 g)
- 9 oz. mascarpone / farmer cheese / cream cheese (250 g)
- 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix
- ½ cup sugar
- Optional topping: blueberry filling
Instructions
- Put all crust ingredients in a large bowl, and start kneading until they turn into a smooth dough.
- Prepare a baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. Then, divide the dough into two, and put one half in the pan.
- Roll the dough out so it covers the bottom of the pan. Then, using a fork, poke the dough to create tiny holes.
- In a separate baking pan, do the same steps with the other half of the dough.
- Put both pans in the oven at 350°F (180°C), and take them out only when they’re golden. Let them cool for a while.
- Grab any one of the pans, and start crumbling the crust inside. When you’re done crumbling, divide it into two equal piles and put it aside for now.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla instant pudding mix and sugar. Then, add the cheese to the mixture and stir everything together.
- Grab the crust pan and line its sides with a cake collar, then pour half of your filling inside.
- Add one pile of crumbs on top, and smooth it out. Then, pour the remaining filling on top, and add the rest of the crumbs.
- Smooth everything out, then put the pan in the freezer for an hour. Then, store it in the fridge until the serving time.
- If you like blueberries, you can top the cheesecake with them instead of the second layer of crumbs. However, make sure to add the blueberries after you freeze the cheesecake.
