AMARETTO CHEESECAKE
===================
Hazelnut crust:
1 cup roasted hazelnuts (350 F for 10 minutes)
3 egg whites
2 tsp vanilla
2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
Amaretto Cream Cheese Filling:
1/2 cup amaretto
3 tsp unflavored gelatin
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 lbs cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
2 cups cream
CRUST:
Heat oven to 350. Grease 10" springform pan and line with greased parchment.
Line a cookie sheet with greased parchment.
Whisk together eggs and vanilla.
Remove as much skin from the hazelnuts as you can and process them with one
cup of the powdered sugar for 30 seconds. Add both sugars and process briefly
to combine. With processer running, pour in egg mixture and process for 15
seconds or until smooth.
Reserve 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the batter.
Pour remaining batter into the springform pan and smooth with spatula. Pour
reserved batter onto the cookie sheet and spread out into a 7-8" disk.
Bake crust 25-30 minutes; disk 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Chop up the disk into 1/8" pieces and soak in 1/4 cup amaretto (not for more
than 15 minutes).
FILLING:
Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup amaretto, let stand 5 min. Heat in sauce pan with
hot (not boiling) water stirring for 4 min. Leave in hot water to stay warm.
Beat cream cheese with mixer for 1 minute. Add lemon juice and zest. Beat
cream to soft peaks. Fold 1/3 cream into cream cheese. Fold in remaining
whipped cream and soaked macaroon bits.
Pour into prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 3 hours
or preferably overnight.
