Chocolate Rum Espresso Cheesecake

Ingredients:

20 Amaretto macaroons or 3/4 c graham cracker crumbs
2 1/2 oz (1/2 c) blanched, toasted almonds or hazelnuts
2 tbs. sugar
2 oz unsalted butter, melted
4 oz semisweet chocolate
1 lb. semi or bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 c cream
3 tbs. Dutch process cocoa
3 tbs. instant espresso powder (optional)
1 c sugar
1/2 c rum (or 3/4 to 1 c Frangelico or Irish cream)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 lb. cream cheese at room temperature
Adjust a rack one-third up from the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 375º F.
Process the macaroons in a food processor or blender until they are about as fine as graham cracker crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and process the nuts and sugar together until rather fine. Mix the nuts with the macaroon crumbs. Add the melted butter and stir to moisten the crumbs evenly.

Turn the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Spread the crumbs evenly over the bottom of the pan with your fingertips and then press down firmly to form a compact crust. Bake for 8 minutes then set aside to cool. When cool, set the pan in the freezer to chill the crust.

Meanwhile, cut the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top of a double broiler over warm water on low heat. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled crust and quickly spread it with the bottom of a spoon until it covers the crust, stopping 1/4 inch away from the edge. Brush melted butter onto the sides of the pan and return to the freezer. Preheat the oven to 350º F.

Cut the chocolate for the filling into small pieces and place them in the top of a double boiler over warm water on low heat. Let cook until almost completely melted and then stir until smooth. Remove from the double boiler and set aside.

Scald 1/2 c of the cream over medium heat. When a skin forms on top of the cream, strain or sift in the cocoa and espresso powder. Whisk until smooth and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Stir in the rum and the remaining cream and set aside.

Beat the cream cheese until it is soft and fluffy, scraping the beaters once during the process. Add the sugar and beat, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture is smooth. Add the chocolate and then the cream mixture while beating the mixture on low speed. Continue beating until completely smooth, scraping the bowl occasionally. Add the eggs and beat just until incorporated. Remove the pan from the freezer and wrap it in two layers of aluminum foil. Place the pan inside a larger, shallow pan. Pour the filling into the pan and rotate it gently to level the filling. Place the pan in the oven. Before closing the door, pour 1/2 to 1 inch of water into the larger pan.

Bake the cheesecake for one hour (the cake will not be set all the way but will still move rather liquidly when moved). Turn off the oven and let the cake stand for an hour in the oven with the door open slightly.

Remove the cake from the oven and remove the springform pan from the larger pan. Remove the foil and let the cheesecake sit until it has cooled to room temperature. Chill the cake, uncovered, overnight before cutting it.

The cheesecake may be glazed with seedless fruit preserves that have been melted and then boiled to reduce slightly. Brush the glaze over the top and sides of the cake. Serve topped with whipped cream.

Extraordinary Cakes: $24.74 How to make cakes that are as delicious to eat as they are beautiful to behold. Karen Krasne, the “Queen of Cakes” according to Gourmet magazine, brings a fresh and contemporary sensibility to special-occasion cakes. Instead of the conventional fondant and gum paste, she relies on natural frostings based on chocolate, cream, or butter (which are also easier to make). What makes these cakes showstoppers is their unexpected flavor combinations-take, for example, the Blood Orange Ricotta Torte, the Chocolate Tiramisu, or the Yuzu Tea Cake. These desserts take full advantage of layering-contrasting textures in each bite-as seen in the New York, New York (chocolate ganache, devil’s food cake, chocolate chantilly, and caramelized apples) or the Beau Soleil (mascarpone mousse, peaches, pralines, and honey-soaked pound cake). Krasne favors vibrant touches like fresh fruit and real flowers, which add flair without being fussy. The recipes include tips from her twenty years as a pastry chef, and a step-by-step introduction covers basic techniques. Extraordinary Cakes shows how to create amazing cakes that satisfy sophisticated palates-but are still achievable for the home baker. Some of the luscious cakes included are Toasted Macadamia Caramel Cheesecake, Shangrila (Guava Mousse, White Chocolate Mousse, Fresh Strawberries, Pound Cake), Vallarta (Key Lime Cream, Whipped Cream, Tequla-Infused Genoise), Marco Polo (Vanilla Mousse, Blackberry Gelee, Tea-Infused Cake), Chocolate Nirvana (Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Cream, Chocolate Cake), King Kamehameha (Coffee Mousse, Chocolate, Mocha Pralines, Chocolate Cake), Beau Soleil (Marscapone Mousse, Peaches, Caramelized Pralines, Honey, Pound Cake), Blood Orange Ricotta Torte, Carnaval (White Chocolate Banana Truffle, Chocolate Mousse, Rum), Caribe (Banana, Mango, Passion Fruit, Chocolate Cake), Tortamisu (Marscapone Cream, Espresso-and-Rum-Soaked Cake).
