Comment préparer Pumpkin Amaretto Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups gingersnap cookie crumbs, ¼ cup sliced almonds, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Pulse until combined.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch greased springform pan. Use a measuring cup to ensure even distribution.
- Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat 3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar, beating until well combined.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree and 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons amaretto (or almond extract), and 1 cup sour cream. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with 1 teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet.
- Pour ½ inch of hot water into the baking sheet to create a water bath (optional).
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the center is almost set and jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar (about 8 inches) for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate uncovered overnight.
- Before serving, remove the sides of the springform pan.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream on top of the chilled cheesecake and sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg.
