Dulce de Leche Cheesecake mit Fleur de Sel

Ja ihr habt richtig gelesen: Dulce de Leche und Cheesecake getoppt mit Fleur de Sel! Ehrlich, wer hier wegklickt dem kann ich wohl nicht mehr helfen… Spaaaß nicht.

Einer meiner letzten Cheesecakekreationen, die ich in den letzen Monaten gebacken habe. Einer? Ja genau, es werden sicherlich noch mehr Cheesecakerezepte auf diesem Blog folgen, ich bin nämlich ganz verrückt nach Cheesecakes. Ich vermeide absichtlich den Begriff Käsekuchen, da ich unter Käsekuchen den guten alten deutschen Käsekuchen aus Quark verstehe. Not my thing.

Ihr braucht auch keine Angst haben, dass Euch dieser Kuchen erschlägt, er wird absichtlich nur in einer 20 cm Form gebacken und hält sich im Kühlschrank prima ein paar Tage frisch, so dass ihn auch ein 2 Personen Haushalt verspeisen kann *hust*.

Das einzige „ungewöhnliche“ was ihr hier benötigt ist die Dulce de Leche, eine Karamellcreme. Diese kann man in Spanien oder Lateinamerika kaufen (und ich schätze in manchen Feinkostgeschäften wird man ihrer auch fündig) oder man macht sie ganz einfach selbst. Dazu benötigt man nur eine Dose gesüßte Kondensmilch und einen Topf. Bei Steph vom Kleinen Kuriositätenladen und bei Meeta von What’s for Lunch, Honey? könnt ihr Euch über die verschiedenen Methoden schlau machen. Habt ihr einen Schnellkochtopf dann könnt ihr den auch mal wieder rauskramen und dafür verwenden. Die kleine Schwester des Handwerkerfreunds hat so schon für die ganze Familie Dulce de Leche gekocht.

Die Graham Cracker für den Boden sind ja nicht mehr ungewöhnlich, die habe ich Euch ja schon am Wochenende vorgestellt. Und ja, die sind bitternötig für den perfekten Cheesecake! Ihr wollt doch wohl nicht anfangen an der Qualität der Zutaten zu sparen, oder ;)?

Dulce de Leche Cheesecake with Fleur de Sel

Yes, you’ve seen right: Dulce de leche and cheesecake sprinkled with fleur de sel! If you don’t wanna taste this, well then I can’t help you anymore… just kidding not.

This is one of my last cheesecake creations I made the last months. One of? Yeah exactly, more cheesecake recipes to come on this blog, since I’m a total sucker for cheesecakes.

Don’t be afraid, we only bake this cake in a small 20 cm spring form, so you aren’t overwhelmed by it. And this cheesecake keeps well for a few days in the fridge, so a 2 person household can enjoy it too on its own *cough*.

The only „extraordinary“ thing you need here is dulce de leche, which is kind of a caramel cream. It can be bought in spain and latin america (and in some delicatessen store I guess) or you just make it yourself. You just need a can of sweetened condensed milk and a saucepan. Head over to Steph from Kleiner Kuriositätenladen (in German) or to Meeta from What’s for Lunch, Honey? (English) for some recipes with different methods. If you have a pressure cooker, now is the time to shine for it! Little sister of the handyman boyfriend cooked dulce de leche with this method for the whole family once.

Graham cracker for the crust are not so special anymore, since I introduced you to the recipe already last weekend. And yes, they are needed for the perfect cheesecake! You’re not going to spare on the quality of the ingredients, are you ;)?

Triple Mousse

Update: Nach unten scrollen für das deutsche Rezept!

Last week I’ve seen this wonderful recipe and photos of Tartelette’s Vanilla, Salted Caramel and Chocolate Mousse and I knew immediately that I have to make it on my own. So last weekend I took the chance and followed her recipe.

It took me to the verge of despair at some points. The caramel wasn’t not so easy for me, as there were some mysterious hard chunks formed, as I added the heavy cream and the butter. So I picked them out, as they didn’t resolved after some stirring. But in the end the caramel mousse was the best of all! More problems came ahead, when making the chocolate mousse. Adding the heavy cream in the end made it an really hard chocolate „mousse“. Cannot really speak about a mousse so. Quite hard to bring it in my glasses then, also because the density was much higher than the density of the other two mousses. I tried three versions of layering: chocolate mousse in the middle, chocolate mousse above, chocolate mousse at the bottom. The first two versions didn’t work, because the chocolate mousse just settled down through the other layers. The third version worked, but unfortunately you couldn’t see much the difference between the vanilla and the caramel layer.

Problem no. 3 was the powdered gelatine. Since I never use that, I only had leaf gelatine. The conversion of powdered into leaf gelatine on the package said that it’s enough to use a half leaf. But the mousse didn’t get firm. So I added the other half. I think one leaf is just right, but I should have waited longer before layering, because after some chilling the texture was just right (excluding the chocolate mousse of course). So I don’t know what (some of) the problems really were. Maybe it had something to do with the temperatures, when I added the ingredients. So next time I will more care about the ingredients having the same temperatures when mixing. And maybe less chocolate would also work for me. In the end it was worth all the drama! It just tasted and still tastes (because I still have some in the fridge) delicious! I especially like the salted caramel mousse. I will definitely give it another try some day. Another option is just cooking the caramel mousse…
