Recipe Review - German Cherry Crumble Cheesecake - EDC - with photo

[JulieO]

GERMAN CHERRY CRUMBLE CHEESECAKE

Notes:

I made this in a 20cm tin instead of the recommended 22-24cm tin, therefore I had quite a bit of the crumble left over.

This was so nice and a hit with everyone.  I used fresh ricotta cheese as I couldn't get the quark, but it was so nice and light, not heavy like cream cheese can be. 

Made it the day before I wanted it and allowed to chill in the fridge in a covered container.  I expected the crumble would soften, but it didn't it stayed nice and crunchy.

5/5

I was going to make this about a month ago, and bought some pitted Morello cherries -- are these the right ones 

[JulieO]

Yes CP, that's what I used.

Thanks  JO for quick reply -- it looks absolutely scrumdidileo. DH has a very soft spot for cheesecakes, and I am sure he would melt at the sight of this one!!!

It was worth the wait JulieO - I have had some morello cherries in the pantry for months so will earmark them for this little beauty for some special occasion in the future.  Sounds like you are the first one to do this recipe, well done.

Congrats Julie0! Looks amaaaaazing!!! Think I am going to try and make this at the weekend, but a diet version (you know less sugar, fat, etc). Won't be as delicious as yours....but hey....have to keep off those kilos, if its a success...will post it for others to try (who like me are trying to watch their waists!). Instead of cherries, I have a mixed bag of frozen berries in the bottom of the freezer which am sure will be perfect for this!

[JulieO]

Thankyou all for your nice comments.

Bron, I would imagine any fruit with good flavour would work in this. 

I was glad I could only have a small slice because we had to make sure there was enough to go around, but it is lovely for a nice occasion.

A great job - reminds me of a dish that a German exchange student made for me about 20 years ago.  She wanted a stabiliser for cream that she was putting on top and I hadn't seen Dr Oetker's Whip-It - but knew a German chef and pastry cook and he gave us a big jar of it - we needed a teaspoon !

Plums would also go down a treat.

Julie your photos inspire  me to make that-who cares about the calories.

[judydawn]

You are easily sucked in Cookie1     No willpower, that's your problem when it comes to sweet things. However, we know you do give most of it to others so you are forgiven

I have copied the recipe - (being German myself) and hopefully will be baking this over the weekend! Thanks for the recipe and the lovely photo which is always inspiring.
