Clementine almond cheesecake
Cheesecakes
This year, I want to improve my baking skills, so I joined Abby Dodge (www.abbydodge.com) and her group in #baketogether. She posts one recipe a month and invites the community to participate by putting their own twists on her recipe which she publishes at the site. Last month we baked bread. For February, it's cheesecake. <br /> <br />I've never been much of a cheesecake baker. The ones I've tried over the years have been failures--cracked, dry. Abby's instructions were clear and well drawn, so I decided to go for it. My initial plan was to use meyer lemons, but I must have been in mind meld with other members of the #baketogether community because there are at least 4 lemon cheesecake recipes posted as of right now. So I decided to go with orange and almond--a favorite combination--and I have a bag of the sweetest clementines in the world on my kitchen counter. I used Trader Joe's vanilla wafers, sliced almonds and clementine zest in the crust, and pureed clementines, almond extract and orange extract in the cake itself.
