How to Make Amish Buttermilk Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 cup rolled oats until combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 or 10-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until well combined.
  5. Beat in 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda until smooth.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
  8. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup crushed macarons (or other desired topping).
  9. Bake for 70-85 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly. The top will puff and brown.
  10. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  11. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  12. Serve chilled with raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries.
