Indulge in a decadent cheesecake with a caramelized creme brulee top layer and a light, fluffy center of sweet mascarpone and ricotta cheeses.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, drained and softened to room temperature
  • 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese, drained and softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 5 eggs at room temperature, separated
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, drained and softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons raw sugar
Instructions:
  • Mix together graham cracker crumbs, smooth butter, and sugar until well combined. Firmly press the mixture onto the base of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) for a perfectly even bake.
  • Combine cream cheese, mascarpone, and sugar in a bowl, blending until smooth. Incorporate egg yolks, ricotta, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg, mixing thoroughly until smooth.
  • To create a fluffy texture, beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently incorporate some into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Carefully fold in the rest of the egg whites using a spatula. Pour the mixture over the crust in the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour until the top is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside with the door closed for 1 hour. After, open the oven door and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until firm, for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Enhance the cheesecake by dusting raw sugar on top before serving. Caramelize the sugar with a creme brulee torch until golden brown. Let it cool and set for about 5 minutes.
