How to make GF white chocolate cheesecake
For the crust
Process the gluten-free cookies and the unsalted butter until they get dusted. Press the mixture with your fingertips on the base of a 9″ or 10” Springform pan. If you don´t have a processor you can melt the butter, add the ground cookies, and mix. Let cool for 1/2 hour.
Cheesecake
Preheat oven to 284°F (140°C).
In a large bowl beat the cream cheese with the sugar and add the eggs one at a time. Set aside.
Place the finely chopped white chocolate in a medium bowl.
In a deep saucepan heat the cream to boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate. Let chill for 20 seconds and then mix well with a rubber spatula.
Pour the chocolate ganache into the cream mixture. Beat everything until a smooth consistency.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan over the cookie base.
Cook for 35/40 minutes.
Let cool at room temperature and store it in the refrigerator. Chill overnight.
Plum compote:
Cut the plums with peel into large cubes. Place in a pan, sprinkle with sugar and drops of lemon juice, and cook over low heat until tender, but firm, and syrup forms. Remove from heat and let cool.
Storing
The cheesecake should be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can make the cheesecake and plum compote in advance and assemble the dessert at the moment of serving.
You can also freeze the cheesecake without the plum compote. Wrap it in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil.
Serving options
- Fruits: you can serve the cheesecake with fresh fruits, like strawberries, blueberries, and so on, or a mix of different seasonal fruits.
- Fruit/ compote sauces: classic. Blueberry, strawberry, and passion fruit sauce are some ideas.
- Chocolate: grated white and dark chocolate.
