Amarena Cheesecake
February 13, 2018
The Amarena cherry is a small bitter dark colored Italian cherry grown in Bologna and Modena, Italy. It is usually bottled in syrup and used as a decoration on desserts.
These luscious and intensely flavorful amarena cherries can be used in place of any dish that requires ordinary candied cherries. You will find no end to using them. Use them for toppings, over pancakes, ice cream, dessert, champagne and even a glass of seltzer. My husband made this cheesecake recipe which came attached to the jar.
- Prep: 15 mins
- Cook: 1 hrs 15 mins
- Yields: 6 - 8 Servings
Directions
1Pre-heat the oven to 425°F.
2Prepare the base: stir the melted butter into the crushed biscuits. Pour the mixture into a 9 inch cake tin and press into the bottom of the tin to form an even layer. Leave in the refrigerator for 15 minutes and then scatter the Amarena (cut into small pieces) on top, together with some Amarena syrup.
3In the meantime, prepare the filling. Beat the eggs together with the sugar, and then add the cream cheese, cream, lemon juice and flour. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Add the drained Amarenas.
4Pour the filling into the cake tin on top of the biscuit base and leave to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature of the oven to 300°F and bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven without removing the cheesecake from the oven, and leave to cool. Then place the dessert in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 – 3 hours.
