Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crust:
- In a food processor, combine the macaroons, ground almonds, and butter. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground and well-combined.
-
Shape the Crust:
- Transfer the crust mixture into a 10-inch springform pan. Press the mixture firmly onto the bottom of the pan, creating an even layer to form the base of your cheesecake. Ensure that the crust reaches the edges of the pan for a perfect finish.
-
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, eggs, and sugar. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring that all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour the prepared cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly, ensuring that the filling covers the entire surface of the crust.
-
Bake the Cheesecake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
-
Cool and Refrigerate:
- Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set and develop its rich, creamy texture.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. You can choose to top your Passover Cheesecake with fresh fruit for an added burst of flavor and visual appeal. Slice and serve chilled, savoring each decadent bite of this delightful dessert.
