- 1 tsp of mixed spice (alternative to Weihnachtsaroma)
Cream Cheese Filling:
- 600 g of cream cheese
- 3 eggs
- 200 ml of heavy cream
- 200 g of sugar
- 45 g of cornstarch
- 1 tsp of mixed spice
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
Cinnamon Filling:
- 80 g of butter, melted
- 100 g of brown sugar
- 1 tbsp of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of cornstarch
Cream Cheese Topping:
- 150 g of cream cheese
- 70 g of powdered sugar
- 1 tsp of lemon juice
Instructions:
- Line a 24 cm springform pan with parchment paper.
- Mix crushed biscuits, melted butter, and mixed spice. Press into the pan to form a base. Chill for 20 minutes.
- For the filling, mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla sugar, and mixed spice. Add cornstarch and heavy cream; mix well. Finally, incorporate the eggs one by one. Pour this mixture into the springform pan.
- Wrap the pan edges with aluminum foil (double layer). For the cinnamon filling, mix melted butter, cinnamon, cornstarch, and brown sugar. Spread this over the cream cheese filling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 60 minutes. Place a water-filled ovenproof dish in the oven (preferably on the bottom rack). After baking, turn off the oven and slightly open the door, using a wooden spoon to keep it ajar. Leave the cheesecake in for another 20 minutes.
- Remove and let it cool to room temperature. If there’s any butter on the surface, gently dab it off with a paper towel. Chill for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, mix cream cheese, lemon juice, and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over the cheesecake or drizzle after slicing.
