Recipe for New York cheesecake with pomegranate from Lyckelig

Ingredients: 160g rusk, 100g butter, 600g sour cream, 400g double-cream cheese, 3 eggs, 1.5 tablespoon cornstarch, 140g sugar, 2-3 pomegranates

Mince the rusk, eg with a bottom of a pot. Melt butter. Put the rusk flour in a greased springform pan and pour the melted butter over it. Mix briefly with your hands and press flat. Bake in preheated oven at 170 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Put the sour cream, cream cheese, eggs, cornstarch and sugar in a large bowl and mix with the blender.

The New York Cheescake is baked in a water bath - for this you pack the springform pan into aluminum foil and then place it in a deep, hot water-filled baking tray to bake.

First pour the batters onto the rusks. Then place the dish on the plate with water and place in the oven for 45 minutes. After the baking time, I let the cake rest for about 15 minutes with the oven door slightly open. Then remove the mold from the water bath and allow to cool on a grate. Do not be surprised: the cake can still be a bit liquid - it hardens! Make the cake cold again for 1-2 hours.

In the meantime, pomegranate the pomegranates. That's how I do it: I take a big bowl and fill it with water. Then I quarter the pomegranates and set the kernels under water. So nothing spills and kitchen / hands stay clean! If you like, you can also give some pomegranate seeds a treat.

We wish: bon appétit!
