Apple and cinnamon curd cheese cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
The lumpy texture and tangy taste of curd cheese provide a great base for this light cake. While mascarpone is fatty and creamy, curd cheese is protein-rich and more rustic. In the gelatine-stabilised cream, the fibres of the grated apple also help with structure, resulting in a biteable but not heavy dessert.

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate the apple, squeeze it out, mix with lemon juice and cinnamon.

Tip: Cinnamon not only flavours but also visually speckles the cream.
2 ✓

Push the curd cheese through a sieve or cream it with the sugar using a stick blender.

Tip: Shop-bought curd cheese must be homogenised to make the cream silky.
3 ✓

Bloom the gelatine in water, heat it (do not boil!), then mix into the curd cheese with tempering. Finally, fold in the apple and the whipped double cream.

Tip: Tempering (mixing a spoonful of cold cream into the warm gelatine) prevents 'gummy bear lumps' from forming.
4 ✓

Pour over the sponge and chill for 4 hours.

Tip: The sponge absorbs moisture from the cream, softening it.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the bottom of the cake wet?
Both the curd cheese and apple can release juice. It is worth draining the curd cheese thoroughly and squeezing out the apple before use.
