How to Make Goat Cheese Cheesecake W Caramel Sauce English Walnuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup chopped English walnuts, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
  4. Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to chill completely.
  5. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Add 4 ounces Allegheny Chevre, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup sour cream; beat until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cream. Add to the cheese mixture and mix until just combined.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. Pour the filling into the chilled crust.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  11. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  12. Let the cheesecake cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Once cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  14. While the cheesecake chills, prepare the caramel sauce (recipe not included, but you can use your favorite recipe or store bought).
  15. Once the cheesecake is chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
  16. Spread the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
  17. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set.
  18. Garnish with extra chopped walnuts (optional).
