Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling. -
-
Dissolve the Gelatin
In a small saucepan, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water. Allow it to stand for one minute, then stir over low heat until completely dissolved, which should take about 3 minutes. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly. -
Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add in the evaporated milk and lemon juice, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. -
Combine Gelatin and Flavorings
Slowly mix the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese mixture. Add the amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is well combined. -
Fold in Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream. -
Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. -
Chill
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight for the best texture. -
Serve
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Optionally, garnish with chocolate sauce and fresh berries for an elegant touch.
Enjoy your Amaretto Mousse Cheesecake, a delightful fusion of flavors that’s perfect for any occasion!
