Lime Curd Cheesecake


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 3 hrs 40 min + overnight
  • Yield: 16 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • oven
  • springform 28cm / 11”
  • deep baking tray or baking dish that fits the springform
  • food processor
  • microwave (or small saucepan)
  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • aluminum foil
  • small saucepan
  • zest grater

Ingredients

Units Scale

CRUST

  • 200 grams golden Oreo cookies (without cream filling)
  • 100 grams butter

FILLING

  • 600 grams cream cheese
  • 130 grams white sugar
  • 160 grams creme fraiche
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

LIME CURD

  • 2 limes
  • 85 grams white sugar
  • 40 grams butter
  • 50 grams heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • cold water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F fan-assisted. Fill a deep baking tray or baking dish, large enough to fit your springform, with water. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Set aside.
  2. Carefully twist apart the Oreo cookies and remove the cream filling. Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan and add it to the cookie crumbs. Mix for about 20 seconds until combined and crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until well combined. Mix in the crème fraîche and vanilla extract. Beat in one egg until just combined, then add the second egg and mix until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent adding too much air to the batter.
  4. Pour the cream cheese filling over the cookie crust in the springform and spread evenly. Place two sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface and put the springform pan in the center. Fold the foil up around the edges of the pan to prevent water from getting in during the water bath. Place the pan in the water bath and bake on the middle rack of the oven for about 40 minutes. The cheesecake should be set at the edges and slightly wobbly in the center, with no cracks on top.
  5. While the cheesecake bakes, prepare the lime curd. Zest the limes and place the zest in a small saucepan. Juice the limes and add the juice, along with the sugar, to the pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then gradually add the butter, stirring until melted. Finally, stir in the cream and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and 1.5 tablespoons of water until smooth, then add to the lime mixture. Bring to a boil while stirring, set aside and then let it cool for a bit.
  6. After 40 minutes, turn off the oven and open the door completely. Leave the cheesecake in the cooling oven for 20 minutes to prevent cracking from temperature shock.
  7. The lime curd should be quite firm by now. Stir in about 4-5 tablespoons of cold water until creamy but not too runny. Add more water if needed. Set aside to cool completely.
  8. After 20 minutes, remove the cheesecake from the water bath, discard the foil, and run a sharp knife around the edge to loosen it from the springform. Leave the springform ring on and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature.
  9. Once the cheesecake has cooled, gently spread the lime curd on top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. I know it’s a long wait, but it’ll be worth it 😉 Enjoy your cheesecake!

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • grater
  • food processor
  • medium metal bowl
  • electric mixer
  • small pot
  • whisk
  • sealable container (e.g., jam jar)
  • cast iron skillet
  • medium bowl
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small sieve

Ingredients

Units Scale

LEMON CURD

  • 2 lemons (we use the zest, the juice and the remaining lemon as garnish)
  • 150 grams white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 70 grams butter, room temperature
  • pinch of salt

DUTCH BABY BATTER

  • 2 eggs
  • 65 grams all-purpose flour
  • 120 milliliters whole-fat milk
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter, for greasing the pan

TOPPINGS

  • blueberries
  • mint leaves
  • powdered sugar
  • lemon slices

Instructions

  1. First, make the lemon curd: Grate the zest of the two lemons and add them to a food processor with 150g / 3/4 cup of sugar. Mix for 1-1.5 minutes until the zest is finely chopped and blended with the sugar.
  2. Transfer the sugar to a metal bowl and mix in the butter with an electric mixer. Next, add one egg at a time, mixing in between. Juice 3 of the 4 lemon halves and add the juice to the butter-sugar-egg mixture along with a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  3. Fill a small pot halfway with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place the metal bowl on top of the pot and whisk the mixture constantly until it thickens, about 10-15 minutes. The right consistency is reached when the mixture is around 80-85°C (175-185°F) or when it started to thicken.
  4. Remove the bowl from the pot and pour the lemon curd into a clean, sealable container (I used an old jam jar) and set aside. The lemon curd will make exactly 300g / 10.5 oz. It will become more firm the longer it sits.
  5. Now prepare the Dutch Baby. Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F) and place a cast iron skillet inside to heat up.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and vanilla extract. Add the flour and mix until creamy. Gradually add the milk, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
  7. Once the oven is preheated, use an oven mitt to remove the skillet and add 1 tbsp of butter. Coat the skillet with the melted butter and pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake on the middle rack for 11-12 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, wash and dry the blueberries and mint leaves. Slice the remaining lemon quarter. Have powdered sugar and a small sieve ready.
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven, spread the lemon curd over the Dutch Baby, and garnish with powdered sugar, blueberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves.
  10. And for an extra decadent touch, my vanilla oil is a perfect match. Just drizzle a bit on top and serve.

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 4 hrs + 45 min
  • Yield: 8-10 pieces 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • plastic wrap
  • medium-sized pot
  • strainer + small bowl
  • whisk
  • oven
  • rolling pin
  • pie dish (28 cm / 11″)
  • sharp knife
  • star-shaped cutter
  • aluminum foil
  • pastry brush

Ingredients

Units Scale

PIE CRUST

  • 350 grams all-purpose flour
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 130 grams unsalted butter, cold
  • 120 milliliters buttermilk, cold
  • pinch of salt

CHERRY FILLING

  • 700 grams morello cherries
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 30 grams cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • pinch of salt

BLUEBERRY FILLING

  • 250 grams blueberries
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

TOPPING

  • 1 tbsp full-fat milk
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the dough in a medium-sized bowl. Mix flour, sugar, and salt together. Then add cold butter, cut into small pieces, and crumble everything by hand until the butter is flaky. Add all the buttermilk and mix by hand until you have a somehow crumbly but firm dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the cherry filling in a medium-sized pot. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt together. Drain the cherries using a strainer, saving 1/2 cup of the juice, and add it to the pot. Cook over medium heat, letting it simmer until the mixture becomes creamy and the cloudiness disappears. Then add the cherries and a tablespoon of butter. Stir until the butter has melted. Set aside to cool.
  3. Next, prepare the blueberry filling. Wash the blueberries and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Add lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch and mix well until all the blueberries are well coated.
  4. Preheat the oven to 215°C / 420°F and place the rack on the lowest shelf.
  5. Take the dough out of the fridge and shape it into a round ball. Place the dough on a heavily floured, clean work surface. Sprinkle more flour on the dough, then roll it out from the center using a rolling pin. The dough should be about 12 cm / 5″ larger in diameter than the pie dish. The dough itself should be 1cm / 1/3″ thick. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, then unroll it over the pie dish. Carefully fit the dough into the dish, then trim the excess edges. Tuck the edge inward to create a thicker top edge. From the remaining dough, cut out 4 long strips and 6 stars for the Stars & Stripes decoration. Set these aside.
  6. Take a piece of aluminum foil, fold it lengthwise, and then shape it into a right angle so it fits into the upper left quarter of the pie dish, acting as a divider between the fillings. Fill the 1/4 area with the blueberry mixture and the 3/4 area with the cherry filling. Remove and discard the foil.
  7. Distribute the cut-out stars over the blueberry filling and arrange the strips over the cherry filling. Trim the strips at the edges and fold them in. Brush the Stars & Stripes and the edges of the crust with a little milk and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  8. Bake the pie in the oven for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 175°C / 350°F and bake for another 25 minutes. Let the pie cool completely, which can take 3-4 hours as the filling sets upon cooling. Happy 4th of July!
