Rhubarb Summer Cheesecake with Vanilla Bean

Sugary & Buttery - Rhubarb Summer Cheesecake with Vanilla Bean

We all know how well rhubarb and vanilla go along, don’t we? So classic. I made this Vanilla Bean Polenta Cake with Rhubarb not too long ago and I just absolutely loved it. This time, I went for cheesecake. Instead of my usual graham cracker crust, I used vanilla wafers. Yep, vanilla wafers and butter topped with vanilla bean and rhubarb cheesecake! Let me tell you: DIVINE. The topping of this cake is so pretty I just can’t get over it, I lined very thin rhubarb slices and covered them with gelatine, which creates this beautiful watercolor effect and makes this cake very elegant looking. And, it is even gluten-free!

Sugary & Buttery - Cherry and Pistachio Layered Cheesecake

Summertime is cheesecake time. Shall I say no-bake cheesecake time! No hot oven, the fridge will do the work for you and you get to enjoy a cool sweet treat at anytime. It is so genius that I already made 3 no-bake cheesecakes in the last 6 weeks (more will be up on the blog soon!). One of them is this beautifully layered cherry pistachio cheesecake on top of a thick crust of graham crackers.

Spanish Ricotta Cheesecake with Toasted Meringue

Sugary & Buttery - Spanish Ricotta Cheesecake with Toasted Meringue

I am so excited about this exclusive recipe feature I produced for Pottery Barn! Not only am I so happy with the way the cake and the photos turned out but working with an amazing brand that I absolutely love is such an honor.

I decided to make a Spanish Ricotta Cheesecake with Toasted Meringue that is absolutely perfect for summer. Flavored with cinnamon, lemon and brandy, it is probably the cheesecake with the most interesting flavor I’ve ever tasted! The cheesecake is a twist on a traditional Spanish cheese cake recipe, Quesada Asturiana, from a northern region of Spain. Usually, the recipe calls for requeson, a Spanish goat cheese, but I replaced it with ricotta, which makes an absolute perfect substitute. Top it with toasted meringue and you get one of the most beautiful summer cakes for your next garden party!

New York Style Coconut Cheesecake with Candied Lemons - Sugary & Buttery

Oh my, this is such a dense and creamy cheesecake! You only get this kind of richness when you bake your cheesecake New York style. I admit, it is quite a process and takes a little more time than a regular cheesecake, but it is definitely more than worth the time and effort. SO good! The coconut cream added to the filling gives this cake just the perfect hint of coconut without being overpowering. And the sweet and sour candied lemons and lemon syrup on top… don’t get me started! It’s the perfect flavor combination. Just dive in and enjoy!

Layered Roasted Strawberry & White Chocolate Cheesecake

Sugary & Buttery - No Bake Roasted Strawberry & White Chocolate Cheesecake
Whoever invented no bake cheesecake: What a genius. Summer or winter, it’s such a great dessert and the best is that you can just swap a few ingredients for a healthier and lighter version. Like this one. I used non-fat Greek yogurt and half-fat cream cheese, and instead of cookies with melted butter as crust (which I have to admit tastes really awesome tough) I used sponge cake, which is naturally (almost) fat free. And this sponge cake recipe by Martha Stewart is really really good, I promise. Makes this roasted strawberry cheesecake super light and extra refreshing. And it’s pretty, too!
