Baked Mascarpone Cheesecake With Stewed Rhubarb Recipes

CREAM CHEESE AND MASCARPONE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar until light. Add flour, cornmeal, and salt, and mix until well combined. Press mixture onto the bottom and 3/4 of the way up sides of a 10-by-3-inch springform pan to form a neat crust. Place in the oven, and bake until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and place on a wire rack. Gently press sides of crust back into place if necessary. Let cool to room temperature.
• Reduce oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, mascarpone, and remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar on low speed until smooth and well combined. Add eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until combined, scraping down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary.
• Add cream, vanilla extract, and orange and lemon zests; beat just until combined. Do not overbeat. Pour mixture into cooled shell; place in oven; bake until set but still wobbly in center, 65 to 70 minutes. Turn oven off, and allow cheesecake to sit in the oven 1 hour more. Remove cheesecake from oven, and place on a wire rack to cool. When completely cool, chill at least 2 hours or overnight. Remove outside ring of springform pan.
• Combine stewed rhubarb with raspberries. Spoon fruit over cheesecake immediately before serving.

RHUBARB & GINGERNUT CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment and fill with the rhubarb. Scatter over the sugar and orange zest and pour over the juice. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod in there too, throwing the spent pod on top. Cover with foil and roast for 20 mins. Remove from the oven. Purée a third of the rhubarb, reserving the rest for the top.
• Butter a 20cm springform cake tin and line it with baking parchment. To make the base, put the biscuits in a bag and smash them with a rolling pin, or put them in a food processor and grind to crumbs. Tip into a mixing bowl, and stir in a pinch of sea salt. Pour the butter over the crumbs. Mix it together with a fork and tip it into the tin. Tap the side of the tin with your hand to even the crumbs out, and gently compress it with the back of a large spoon until it's packed in and level. You want it fairly well packed so that it holds together. Put in the fridge to chill.
• To make the filling, put the cheese and quark or yogurt into a mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, and beat it together. Mix until combined and thickened, then fold through the rhubarb purée.
• Pile the mixture on top of the biscuit base and smooth it down. Cover with cling film and chill overnight until set. Remove the rhubarb from its syrup with a slotted spoon, tip the syrup into a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce for about 3-5 mins until the syrup is more concentrated. Allow to cool.
• Carefully remove the cheesecake from its tin. Pile the rhubarb on top and drizzle over some syrup (you can save the rest for drizzling over porridge), then scatter with the pistachios to serve.
