Creamy Cheesecake with Homemade Plum Jam

Hello there!!.. Today I prepared a cheesecake without heavy cream, featuring handmade plum jam.

The recipe is relatively simple, and the cost is quite low. Preparation time is 30', and baking time is 50'.

We need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

360 grams whole-wheat biscuits

200 grams butter

For the filling:

600 grams fresh cottage cheese or ricotta

3 eggs

7 tablespoons brown sugar

Grated zest of one lemon

1 sachet vanilla sugar

1 pinch of salt

For the jam:

2 gelatin sheets

150 grams brown sugar

6 medium plums

1 teaspoon cinnamon

We start with the crust by grinding all the biscuits in a blender and then mixing them with the slightly melted (but not hot!!) butter. We then form a biscuit "wall" in a pan lined with parchment paper and put it in the fridge while we deal with the filling.

For the filling, we beat the eggs until foamy with the vanilla sugar, regular sugar, and salt. Then we add the cheese and scent it with the lemon zest. We pour the whole cream into the pan, level it, and move it to the preheated oven for 50 minutes at 180 degrees.

During the baking, we prepare the plum jam: we put the sugar with a 200 ml glass of water over low heat, and when all the sugar has melted, we add the gelatin sheets.

After 1 minute, we also add the sliced plums together with the cinnamon, and let it simmer over low heat for about an hour and a half, meaning until the water reduces and it achieves a creamy consistency.

We take the cheesecake out of the oven and let it cool! We do the same with the jam.

After 2-3 hours, we can serve.

Enjoy!!:)
