Fruit Swirl Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup fruit puree (such as raspberry, strawberry, or blueberry)
For the garnish:
- Fresh fruits (berries, pineapple slices, mandarin orange segments)
- Fresh mint leaves
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until just combined.
- Create the fruit swirl:
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
- Drop spoonfuls of fruit puree over the batter and use a knife to swirl the puree into the batter.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the top and repeat the swirling process with more fruit puree.
- Bake the cheesecake:
- Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish. Pour hot water into the larger dish to create a water bath (the water should reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Garnish and serve:
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Garnish with fresh fruits, mint leaves, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Slice and enjoy your beautiful fruit swirl cheesecake!
This cheesecake is sure to impress with its stunning appearance and delicious flavor. Enjoy!
