Lemony Layered Cheesecake
Using prepared ingredients to compose this tangy icebox cake makes it super easy.
Here’s a snippet from the recipe:
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
- Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing 4 inches of overhang. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the mascarpone with the heavy cream at medium speed until smooth and just firm; do not overbeat. Fold in the lemon curd and a pinch of salt.
- Spread a 1/4-inch-thick layer of the lemon cream on the bottom of the pan. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers on top, breaking them to fit. Repeat the layering with the remaining lemon cream and crackers, finishing with a final layer of cream. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Uncover and invert the cheesecake onto a platter. Remove the plastic wrap. Serve with blueberries.
MAKE AHEAD
The cheesecake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Icebox chocolate cheesecake
This easy dessert features layers of chocolate cookies and a quick mix of cream cheese, chocolate syrup and a little water. The cookies soften as the cake chills overnight for a perfectly moist, chocolaty “cheater’s”cheesecake.
No-bake white chocolate cheesecake with strawberries
In his version of no-bake cheesecake, baker and cookbook author Kamran Siddiqi beats melted white chocolate and citrus zest into the creamy filling for a deep, decadent flavor.
Goat cheese cake with mixed berries
Goat cheese gives a twist to traditional cheesecake and adds a savory element to this not-too-sweet dessert.
Farmer’s cheesecake with strawberries
For this elegant, no-bake cheesecake, Nicolaus Balla ferments his own farmer’s cheese (a kind of cottage cheese). Ricotta mixed with cream cheese makes a delicious substitute for the filling, which is incredibly light, delicately sweet and wonderful inside the crumbly graham cracker crust.
