Rich and Browned Camembert Cheesecake
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 2 packs Camembert cheese (100 g)
- 200 ml Double cream
- 80 grams Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp each Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 40 grams Crackers (plain)
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- Make the cake base.
- Put the crackers in a plastic bag and crush to a fine crumbs.
- Add butter and mix well with your hands.
- Press down this mixture on the bottom of the cake tin lined with baking paper (in the photo, I didn't use baking paper).
- Put the eggs and cream in a bain-marie to warm.
- Microwave the cream cheese in a for about a minute and beat with a balloon whisk.
- Add sugar and beat further.
- Remove the rind of the Camembert and microwave for 1 minute.
- Add the Camembert into Step 2 and beat well.
- Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds and stir well.
- Beat the eggs into the mixture and stir well.
- Add cornstarch and cream (in this order) and stir well.
- Microwave for 30 seconds.
- Add lemon juice and mix well.
- Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into the cake tin to remove the rind of the Camembert.
- If you find any lumps, push it through a tea strainer.
- By putting the mixture through a sieve, you'll have a smooth filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven to 200C for 30 minutes (cover with foil if the top browns too much).
- Reduce the heat to 150C and bake for another 30 minutes.
- This cake is baked in a high heat oven first, so be careful not to burn it (cover with foil if the surface browns too much).
- After the cake is baked, run a knife along the sides and leave to cool.
- After the cake is cooled, chill in the fridge.
- I use normal Camembert found at the supermarket.
- This is a slice.
- You can see the cake is firm.
- You don't need to use a springform cake tin.
- If you place baking paper in a crisscross on the bottom of the tin, you can remove the cake easily after baking.
