25 Healthy Mascarpone Recipes
Ingredients
For The Crumble:
- 1/2 cups flour all-purpose
- 1 cup flour almond
- 1/4 cup sugar granulated
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 ounces butter cold
- 2 tablespoons water.
For The Filling:
- 8 ounces mascarpone
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinega
- 2 powdered sugar
Instructions
- To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the center of the oven. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the diced cold butter to the mixture and use your fingers to work it in, smearing it slightly to create small butter streaks and pieces of butter.
- When the butter is evenly incorporated and there are still pea-sized pieces of butter in the mixture, add 2 tablespoons of water and continue to mix by hand until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overwork the dough – the mixture should be loose and crumbly.
- Next, take a 9-inch springform pan and press 2/3 of the crumble mixture into the bottom to form a crust.
- Bake the crust in the oven for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until it is set and just slightly golden. Let it cool for a bit.
- In the meantime, prepare the filling by combining the mascarpone, cream cheese, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Mix on high until the mixture is fluffy and well combined, for about a minute.
- Add the eggs one at a time and mix on high until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the vanilla and apple cider vinegar by mixing thoroughly.
- Pour the mascarpone filling into the crust and add the sliced apples to cover the cheesecake filling.
- Finish the dessert by topping it with the remaining 1/3 of the crumble mixture.
- Bake in the oven for an hour, or until the topping is golden brown and the center of the cheesecake jiggles slightly.
- Once the cheesecake is done, let it cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
- Remove it from the springform pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar to serve.
