Triple Citrus Cheesecake with Apple Cider Reduction Recipe by Motor Supply Co. Bistro
INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups of graham cracker crumbs, crushed
¾ cup sugar
1 cup butter
2 pounds of cream cheese, room temperature
4 eggs, room temperature
2 cups of sugar, separated
2 limes
2 lemons
2 oranges
3 cups apple cider
DIRECTIONS
Separate 2 cups of sugar into three equal portions and zest one of the two pieces of each fruit into the sugar; blend until oils are released and set aside.
Build your crust by crushing the graham crackers, combine ¾ cup of sugar, and then add 1 cup of butter, melted. Pat down the mixture into an 8″ springform pan and par-bake for 10 minutes.
Blend cream cheese and all three of your citrus sugars for 10-15 minutes in a mixer. Halfway through, drop in your eggs one at a time.
Pour batter into your prepared crust and bake the cheesecake in a hotel pan filled halfway with water at 325ºF for 2 hours, or until the center has a very light jiggle.
Prepare the cider reduction by pouring your cider in a heavy bottom pot, turn to medium-low heat, and reduce for 30-45 mins, which will thicken once cooled.
Let cheesecake and cider reduction cool completely before topping with cider reduction + your choice of garnishes. Enjoy!
