WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT CHEESECAKE WITH CARAMEL AND RASPBE



White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cheesecake With Caramel and Raspbe image

The sauces are extra if you want to make them. I was inspired to make this at home from scratch because of the famous restaurant Yard House. I mean, I could NEVER make this cheesecake as good as theirs but its still great and fun to make! As for making the caramel sauce, remember before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go and to put in. Making caramel is a fast process that cannot wait for hunting around for ingredients. If you don't work fast, the sugar will burn.

Time 2h40m

Yield 1 pie, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pint fresh raspberry
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cold water
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup macadamia nuts (finely chopped)
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1/2 cup macadamia nuts
1 cup white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Raspberry sauce:.
  • 1. Combine the raspberries, sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan. Whisk the cornstarch into the cold water until smooth. Add the mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • 2. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the desired consistency is reached. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  • 3. Puree the sauce in a blender or with a handheld immersion blender and strain it through a fine sieve. Serve warm or cold. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to two wehttp://www.food.com/members/subm/editr2eks.
  • Caramel Sauce:.
  • 1. Heat sugar on moderately high heat in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart or 3-quart saucepan. As the sugar begins to melt, stir vigorously with a whisk or wooden spoon. As soon as the sugar comes to a boil, stop stirring. You can swirl the pan a bit if you want, from this point on.
  • 2. As soon as all of the sugar crystals have melted (the liquid sugar should be dark amber in color), immediately add the butter to the pan. Whisk until the butter has melted.
  • 3.Once the butter has melted, take the pan off the heat. Count to three, then slowly add the cream to the pan and continue to whisk to incorporate. Note than when you add the butter and the cream, the mixture will foam up considerably. This is why you must use a pan that is at least 2-quarts (preferably 3-quarts) big.
  • Crust:
  • 1. Grind 1/4 cup macadamia nuts in a blender.
  • 2. Add to a bowl and add cracker crumbs, butter, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • 3. Mix and press over bottom of 8 inch pan.
  • Filling:.
  • 1. In another bowl, combine remaining sugar, cream cheese, yolks, liqueur, and vanilla. Beat, scraping bowl often.
  • 2. Chop another 1/2 cup of nuts and mix into cream cheese mixture. Spread batter on crust.
  • 3. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes, until cake jiggles just a bit when gently shaken. Cool on rack.
  • 4. place chocolate chips in whatever design and amout you'd like. Then pour over desired amout of Raspberry and Caramel sauce over the cheesecake.
  • 5. Cover with foil and chill until cold 2 hours to 1 day or overnight.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT CHEESECAKE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cheesecake Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Johanna

Number Of Ingredients 26

FOR THE CRUST:
1 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup toasted, chopped Macadamia nuts (toast on a sheet pan at 350 degrees for 6 minutes)
FOR THE CARAMEL:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
FOR THE CHEESECAKE:
24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
8 ounces sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 1/2 ounces white chocolate (a bar cut into chunks or a package of chunks if you can find them)
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup Macadamia nuts, toasted (toast as above in crust layer)
FOR THE GARNISH:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup powdered sugar
More caramel sauce for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make the caramel first. In a small saucepot, melt the butter and sugar together over medium high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. The longer you cook it, the stronger the flavor it is. If you don't want a really strong caramel, cook it closer to 7 minutes. Let it cool about 2 minutes and then whisk in the cream carefully. It may have a tendency to puff up and boil. Mix the crust layer ingredients together. Spray a springform pan with non stick spray. Spread the crust mixture on the bottom of the springform pan. Cook the crust layer 8-10 minutes or until it's slightly firm in the center and not as sticky. Meanwhile, for the cheesecake layer, in a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until soft. Scrape down the sides, add in the sugar, and beat again until combined. Scrape the bowl down again and add in the remaining ingredients. Mix until well incorporated and smooth. Gently spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust layer. Drizzle in some caramel, all the white chocolate, and most of the Macadamia nuts (leave some for garnishing). Spread the remaining cheesecake mixture over the top. Make a large foil tent to cover over the cheesecake pan. This will keep your cheesecake white. Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour. Remove foil tent and cook in five-minute increments until the center is set. Refrigerate or even freeze until cold. When the cheesecake is cold, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a mixer until stiff. Put a dollop of whipped cream on the cheesecake slices, drizzle caramel over, and the remaining Macadamia nuts.
