Amt | Ingredient |
2 lbs. | cream cheese, room temperature |
10 ozs. | sugar |
1 oz. | cornstarch |
¼ | orange peel, finely chopped |
3 | eggs plus 1 yolk |
14 ozs. | sour cream |
pinch | salt |
1 tsp. | vanilla |
2 tbsp. | passion fruit reduction* |
Procedure:
• Sift the sugar and cornstarch together, add to the cream cheese and orange peel. Mix with a paddle on medium speed until just smooth. Be careful not to overmix, or the finished cheesecake will be too soft.
• Mix the eggs, sour cream, vanilla and passion fruit reduction together, slowly add to the cream cheese in 3/4 portions and scrape the bowl after each addition, so there are no lumps.
• Portion the batter into silicone pans. When using silicone pans, do not use a water bath or the cakes will not set up properly. Bake at 275° convection for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cakes are set. You can place a pan of water in the oven to help to keep the cakes from cracking, but this usually isn’t a problem with the mini size.
• Serve with a rosette of passion fruit curd, 5-spice pineapple and raspberry coulis. * The passion fruit reduction is reduced by a factor of four. To get 2 tbsp. of reduction, start with 4 ozs. of passion fruit puree and reduce it over low heat until you are left with 2 tbsp. Yield: 45 mini-cakes
