Four Flavor Mochi Cheesecakes Recipes

MINI CHOCOLATE-STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pulse the cookies, almonds, butter and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Spray 6 cups in a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Press the crumbs on the bottom and up the sides of the cups. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
• Heat the chocolate in a large bowl in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until just melted. Add the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese and heavy cream, and beat on medium-high speed to combine with an electric mixer. Spoon into the muffin cups and refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
• Toss the strawberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until syrupy, about 15 minutes. Remove the cheesecakes from the muffin tin and serve topped with the strawberries.

MINI PUMPKIN CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each lined cup.
• 2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides, reduce speed to low and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, until combined. Beat in 1/3 cup sour cream and heavy cream. Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Divide evenly among cookie-lined paper cups, filling almost all the way to the top.
• 3. Bake until the filling is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. A sharp knife inserted into the center will come out moist, but clean. Top each cheesecake with some of the remaining 1 1/4 cup sour cream, about 1 heaping tablespoon, using a spoon to gently spread. Cool completely in tins on a wire rack. Refrigerate until cold, 4 hours, or overnight. Top with a dusting of pumpkin pie spice.

4-FLAVOR CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
• Pour the crust mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) springform cake pan. Press crumbs down firmly with the bottom of a small ramekin or glass to form an even base.
• Carefully break the remaining graham crackers in half, so that you have 8 squares.
• Push the graham crackers into the crust with the split line facing upwards to form an X shape, dividing the crust into four equal sections.
• Press down on the crust one more time to ensure the graham crackers are secure. Cover and chill in the freezer for at least 10 minutes while preparing the fillings.
• In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the water. Set aside to bloom.
• In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
• Add 2½ cups (720 ml) whipping cream and beat until the batter is light and fluffy.
• Warm the gelatin in the microwave for about 15 seconds so that it's fluid, and incorporate into the batter.
• Divide the cheesecake batter evenly between 4 medium bowls.
• In the first bowl, whisk in the vanilla extract and remaining whipping cream.
• In the second bowl, whisk in ⅓ cup (80 grams) lemon curd.
• In the third bowl, whisk in the dulce de leche.
• In the fourth bowl, whisk in the chocolate hazelnut spread.
• To assemble the cheesecake, slowly pour the contents of bowl #1 into a quarter of the pan. Repeat with remaining flavors. Use a spatula to smooth the tops.
• Carefully dollop the raspberry jam in small circles on top of the vanilla cheesecake. Use a toothpick or knife to carefully swirl it into the filling. Garnish the outer border with fresh raspberries.
• Garnish the outer border of the chocolate hazelnut cheesecake with the chocolate hazelnut truffles.
• Garnish the outer border of the dulce de leche cheesecake with the chopped pecans and drizzle with dulce de leche
• Pour the remaining lemon curd on top of the lemon cheesecake and smooth with an offset spatula or spoon. Garnish the outer border with candied lemon slices.
• Cover the top of the pan tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours or overnight in the fridge before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

FOUR-FLAVOR FOCACCIA WITH BURRATA

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook on low speed, stir in the warm water and 2 tablespoons of the oil, mixing until the flour is completely moistened. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and knead on medium speed for 5 minutes. (The dough will tighten up, then begin to relax. After 5 minutes, it will be very wet and stick to the bottom of the mixer but not the sides.)
• Rub 2 tablespoons oil around the bottom and sides of a mixing bowl large enough to hold at least double the volume of dough. Using a scraper or spatula, transfer the dough to the bowl, flipping once to coat completely with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Pour 1/4 cup oil into an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Use your hands to coat the bottom and sides. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet and flatten it slightly with your hands. Flip the dough once and gently stretch it to fit in an even layer in the baking sheet. (The dough may not stretch to the edges at this point. If it starts to pull back, let rest 10 minutes and re-stretch, making sure to pull from the center as well as the edges to get an even thickness.) Use your fingertips to make dimples over the surface of the dough, pressing firmly without making holes.
• Toss together the mushrooms, squash, rosemary, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl. Spread the mushroom mixture on one quadrant of the dough. Top the next quadrant with the olives and sprinkle with the pancetta. Top the third quadrant with the artichoke hearts and sprinkle with the peas. Sprinkle the basil over the last quadrant and arrange the tomatoes cut-side up. Gently press the toppings into the dough so they stay in place. Let the dough rise until slightly puffy, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bake the focaccia, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the top and bottom are deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, place a ball of BelGioioso Burrata in the middle of each quadrant and return to the oven to slightly warm the cheese, about 5 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with flaky salt. Use a spatula to transfer the focaccia to a cutting board or serving platter, then cut open the BelGioioso Burrata and serve.

MINI BACON CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Make the bacon: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners. Put the bacon pieces in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until almost completely browned, about 4 minutes. Pour off the drippings and reserve. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over the bacon and cook, stirring, until the bacon is crisp and glazed, about 3 more minutes. Transfer the candied bacon to a plate; set aside until ready to use.
• Make the crust: Pulse the cookies, butter, the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon bacon drippings, and the salt in a food processor until finely ground. Firmly press 1 heaping teaspoon of the crumb mixture into each mini muffin liner. Bake until the crust is set, about 12 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack.
• Make the cheesecakes: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium-high speed until light and smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the flour and egg and mix until just incorporated, scraping down the bowl as needed. Fill each mini muffin cup with about 2 teaspoons batter and bake until set, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill at least 4 hours. Top each cheesecake with a piece of candied bacon.

BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Melt the butter and chocolate. Beat the eggs and vanilla (do not over beat). Sift and fold in the flour, mochi flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture followed by the sugar. Fold in the egg mixture until incorporated. Then fold in coconut flakes. Pour into an oven proof dish or pan and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
