French-Style Fromage Blanc Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis Topping
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- For the Cheesecake:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz fromage blanc cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Raspberry Coulis:
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the fromage blanc cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the flour and vanilla extract until just combined. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
- Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 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 slightly ajar for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To make the raspberry coulis, combine the raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Once the cheesecake is chilled, carefully remove it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Pour the raspberry coulis over the top of the cheesecake before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The French-Style Fromage Blanc Cheesecake with a luscious raspberry coulis topping is a delightful marriage of creamy and tangy flavors. Originating in the Alsace region of France, this dessert has a rich history dating back to the 15th century. Renowned pastry chef, Gaston Lenôtre, popularized this cheesecake in his iconic Parisian patisserie, earning it a place in the hearts of dessert enthusiasts worldwide. The key to this delectable treat lies in the use of fromage blanc, a creamy and slightly tangy cheese, and the vibrant raspberry coulis that adds a burst of fruity sweetness. For the best version of this dish, head to traditional French bakeries or patisseries in Alsace or Paris. The crucial elements to nail are the creamy texture of the fromage blanc and the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness in the raspberry coulis. Alternatively, consider infusing the cheesecake with a hint of lemon zest for a refreshing twist.
