Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz fromage blanc
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat 16 oz of fromage blanc and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Finally, mix in 1/4 cup of heavy cream until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before removing the sides of the springform pan.
- Garnish with fresh berries before serving. Enjoy!
French-style Fromage Blanc Cheesecake has a rich history dating back to the 14th century in the French region of Alsace. This creamy and light cheesecake is made with fromage blanc, a fresh and creamy cheese similar to yogurt. Renowned French pastry chef, Pierre Hermé, is credited with popularizing this delicate dessert, infusing it with his signature creativity and precision. The best version of this dish can be found in the charming patisseries of Alsace, where local fromage blanc is used to create a luscious and tangy filling. The key to a perfect Fromage Blanc Cheesecake lies in the quality of the fromage blanc and the balance of sweetness and tanginess in the filling. For a twist, some chefs incorporate seasonal fruits or a drizzle of honey to enhance the flavors.
