Instructions: Cinnamon and cardamom cheesecake
For this recipe I used cream cheese made by Arla that was kindly offered to me by its manufacturer. This cheese is 100% natural. It contains no preservatives, coloring agents, additives or stabilizers of any kind.
Whisk spreadable cream cheese, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and eggs. Put aside for a few minutes and stir again to let the brown sugar dissolve well.
Add spices and whisk again. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 3 hours. This will allow this cheesecake to become perfectly creamy and smooth during baking process.
Prepare the cookie base. Blend your cookies with desiccated coconut. Add melted butter and stir.
For this recipe I used a round silicone baking pan, but a classic springform pan is fine too. Cover the bottom of a 20 cm round pan with a circle of baking paper (not necessary if you use the silicone pan). Fill the bottom of the pan with prepared mixture. Press on the bottom with a spoon to make it even. Put in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Preheat the oven to 165 °C. Stir the cream cheese mixture and pour it over the cookie base. Bake for about 1 hour or until the cheesecake remains completely compact and elastic to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Place it in the refrigerator for about 6 hours or until your cheesecake has completely set.
Serve decorated with whipped cream, cinnamon and some chocolate decoration.
