Vanilla bean cheesecake w/ white chocolate mousse.
- 1 1/2 cup Graham crackers (finely crushed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp butter (melted)
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 vanilla bean (seeds inside)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 6 oz white chocolate baking squares
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 Vanilla bean (seeds from inside)
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F.
- Combine all ingredients under the crust section in a medium bowl.
- Transfer mix to a 9 inch spring form pan.
- You can use a bigger on if you want or all you have, but your layers will be thinner.
- Bake in the oven for 7 or 8 minutes and then remove it an allow it to cool.
- Reduce oven to 350F.
- In a medium bowl or if you have a kitchen-aid beat the cream cheese until it's soft and creamy.
- Then add in all other ingredients from the cheesecake section but the vanilla bean.
- Once everything is mixed good add in the vanilla bean seeds and mix until they are evenly spread out.
- Careful not to over mix.
- Spread cheesecake mix over fully cooled crust and place in the over.
- Cook for about 33 to 35 minutes.
- You want the outer edge to be set and the middle will jiggle a little bit.
- Once done remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- (I threw mine in the fridge after about 10 or 15 minutes to speed things up) You can work on the next steps no need to wait.
- For the mousse, mix cream and vanilla in a bowl and beat with electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- (google if you need too ?)
- add the powdered sugar and beat more until peaks are just a bit stiffer.
- Melt down your chocolate, but do it slowly it's a pain and will burn easily.
- In a separate bowl mix cream cheese until soft then add in your melted chocolate.
- Once mixed well you want to add it to your other bowl.
- Don't use a mixer you want to fold it in so you do not deflate the cream.
- Now just throw it in the fridge until your cake is cooled.
- Finally the last part and this is optional.
- In a bowl mix cream and sugar until soft peaks form again.
- Add in vanilla bean seeds and continue to beat until slightly stiffer and seeds are evenly mixed.
- All you gotta do now is put it together.
- Scoop in your mousse and spread over your cheesecake and then scoop whipped cream on top of that and spread it over the mousse.
- Put it in the fridge for 2 or more hours before you serve it.
