Description

Indulge in this healthy and creamy baked cheesecake featuring Greek yogurt and mascarpone. This easy-to-make dessert is a delicious alternative for those seeking a lighter treat without compromising on flavor, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • coconut oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, plus more for dusting the pan
  • 3 cups 2 % Greek yogurt (or ricotta cheese)
  • 1 ½ cups mascarpone
  • 3 tablespoons castor sugar- or fine baking sugar
  • 3 large pasture-fed eggs
  • 6 large egg yolks from pasture-fed eggs
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 Tablespoon of hydrolyzed gelatin ( try 2 Tablespoons or more if you wish)

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bring a kettle of water to a boil. Grease a 10-inch springform pan with coconut oil. Sprinkle with sugar, tapping out excess. Wrap foil around the outside of the pan so it comes up the sides (this prevents the water bath from seeping into the cake). Make sure the tin foil is tight and really seals the pan!

  1. In an electric mixer, beat the yogurt, mascarpone, sugar and castor sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, scraping down the sides. Beat in the salt, gelatin and vanilla. Transfer to the springform and set it in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to rise halfway up the springform. Cover the roasting pan with foil, tenting the foil so it does not touch the cheesecake. Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for 20 minutes more. Uncover and continue baking, until the cake is puffed but not cracked, jiggly but not liquid in the center, for about 25 minutes more.

  2. Cool cake in the roasting pan until the water is lukewarm, then cool on a rack. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove sides from springform. Serves 10 to 12.
