Plum And Cheesecake Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups of crushed graham crackers, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat 24 ounces of cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until fully incorporated. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.

Step 3: Prepare Plum Topping

In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of sliced plums, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of cornflour. Cook over medium heat until the plums have softened and the mixture thickens slightly. Spread the plum topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.

Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake

Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to let it set completely.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate. Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your Plum and Cheesecake!
