Cannoli Cheesecake We make many cheesecakes in the Test Kitchen, and one of our favorite methods (which happens to be the easiest and most foolproof) is slow cooked. To offer the palate some new, fun flavors, we made a cheesecake that is nice and creamy with the flavor of cannoli filling. Setting: Slow Cook Makes one 7-inch cheesecake (about 8 servings) 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature (for pan) Crust: ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs ¼ cup toasted pine nuts, finely ground 1 tablespoon granulated sugar pinch sea or kosher salt ½ tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature Filling: 4 ounces (½ package) cream cheese, quartered and room temperature ½ cup granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon sea or kosher salt ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 large eggs, room temperature 2 large egg whites, room temperature 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 12 ounces whole-milk ricotta, room temperature 2 ounces bitter or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped medium speed until smooth Add the cream cheese, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Mix on medium speed until very smooth (you cannot over-mix at this stage. Be sure there are no lumps in the batter). Scrape bowl and beaters/paddle with a spatula. Add eggs and whites, one at a time, making sure each is incorporated into the batter before adding the next. Mix in vanilla. Be sure the batter is homogenous, but do not over-mix. Stir in the chopped chocolate. 4. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Put pan into the bottom of the cooking pot of the Multicooker. 5. Select Slow Cook on High for 3 hours. 6. Once the time has elapsed, allow cake to rest in the unit on Keep Warm for an additional 2 hours (you want it to be just set). 7. Remove cheesecake and place on a cooling rack. Once completely cool, wrap well with plastic and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving. Nutritional information per serving: $BMPSJFT
