Cheesecake
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for an additional hour to cool gradually.

Cool and serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled with pears, tahini, and a scoop of concord grape sorbet on the side.
