Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s at the right temperature for baking your cheesecake to perfection.
-
-
Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the cracker crumbs with the melted butter, stirring until the mixture is well incorporated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan to create a sturdy crust.
-
Bake the Crust: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the crust is just very lightly browned, imparting a subtle crunch to your cheesecake.
-
Mix the Filling: In a food processor, combine the Boursin cheese, cream cheese, Stilton cheese, blue cheese, sour cream, eggs, fresh ground pepper, sherry wine, and milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all the cheeses are well incorporated.
-
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheese mixture over the baked crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
-
Prepare the Water Bath: Wrap the bottom and sides of the springform pan in a double thickness of aluminum foil to prevent water from leaking in. Place the wrapped pan inside a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This water bath will help the cheesecake cook evenly and prevent cracking.
-
Bake the Cheesecake: Carefully place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to ensure it doesn’t overbake or brown. The cheesecake is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Chill and Serve: Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool slightly before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh herbs and nasturtiums, and alongside an assortment of fruits and nuts.
Indulge in this decadent Boursin Blue Cheesecake, a truly luxurious treat that perfectly balances creamy textures and bold flavors, making it an ultimate addition to your next gathering!
