Rhubarb cheesecake recipe
Rhubarb cheesecake with ginger
The fresh sourness of the rhubarb in combination with the sweet, creamy taste of the ‘cheese in the cake’ makes this cheesecake with rhubarb one of my favorites.
Wash the rhubarb and cut into pieces. Put the rhubarb, together with the cinnamon sticks, slices of ginger, star anise and a pinch of salt in a heavy-bottomed pan with a little water. Keep stirring so that it does not burn but softens gently.
Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the rhubarb is soft and stir in the honey. Let the rhubarb compote cool completely and remove the cinnamon sticks, ginger and star anise.
Melt the butter. Grind the cookies in the food processor and mix in the melted butter. Press the biscuit mixture flat into the bottom of a springform pan.
Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water.
Beat the cream cheese with 200 ml of whipped cream and sugar.
Heat the remaining 200 ml whipped cream in a pan, squeeze out the gelatin leaves and dissolve them in the warm cream. Stir well so that there are no lumps.
Fold the warm gelatin cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Spread a layer of cooled rhubarb compote on your pie crust.
Mix the cream cheese mixture with about 200 ml rhubarb compote and pour it on top.
Let the cake stiffen in the fridge, about 4 hours. Garnish with some more rhubarb compote or larger pieces of rhubarb.
