Campari Cheesecake Recipes

CAMPARI CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Grease and 8 inch springform pan.
• Melt butter and mix with crumbs.
• Press into the pan.
• Set aside.
• Beat cream cheese, yogurt and whipping cream until smooth.
• Beat in the zest, juice and Campari.
• Combine the gelatin with water and simmer until dissolved.
• Cool slightly.
• Stir into the whipped mixture.
• Beat eggs with sugar until thick and holds a ribbon.

• Spoon into prepared crust.
• Refrigerate 4 hours.

CAMPFIRE MINI CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Beat the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and salt in a large bowl with a mixer until smooth. Remove a heaping 1/4 cup of the batter to a small bowl and mix in the cocoa powder until smooth.
• Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a separate small bowl. Press into the muffin cups to make a crust. Pour in the plain batter, then gently swirl in the chocolate batter with a spoon.
• Bake the cheesecakes until set, about 30 minutes. Let cool, then refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Top with mini marshmallows, caramel sauce and the candy melt brushstrokes.
• Melt 1/2 cup each red, orange and yellow candy melts in separate small bowls in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring. Using the back of a spoon, make swipes of each color on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let harden, then arrange on the cheesecakes to look like flames.

CAMPARI OLIVE OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper. (You can use a regular 9-inch cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep, but the cake will be harder to unmold.)
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk together butter, milk, oil, eggs, Campari, citrus zests, and citrus juices. Fold in the dry ingredients, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake until the top is golden and springs back when lightly pressed in the center, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (A cake tester might emerge with a few crumbs, which is OK.)
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Then run a butter knife around the edges and release the sides. Serve with dollops of whipped crème fraîche. This cake is best served on the same day that it's baked.

QUICK UNBAKED CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Dissolve jello in the boiling water and let cool.
• Mix together the graham wafer crumbs, butter and 1 T sugar.
• Pack into a 9" X 9" pan, saving some crumbs for the topping.
• Cream together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.
• Mix together the Dream Whip and milk.
• Combine the jello mix, dream whip and cream cheese mix and pour on top of crumb base in pan.
• Sprinkle with remaining crumbs that were kept from the base mixture.
• Cover and refridgerate.
• Cut into serving pieces and top with your favorite topping for cheese cakes.
