All LatestWhite Chocolate Cheesecake with Macadamia Nuts and Caramel – Creamy white chocolate cheesecake has macadamia nuts throughout, with a homemade caramel sauce poured over the top. Show Let’s talk cheesecake. It is my favorite subject, after all. I love finding out what someone will choose as their “last” meal. You know – if you were able to choose the last meal before you die, what would it be? Honestly, for the meal, it would totally depend on my mood. Maybe a big steak. Or tacos. Or a fat, juicy hamburger. But dessert? It would be cheesecake. No doubt about it. (But I might throw in a box of donuts for good measure.) 🙂 I love cheesecake. So today is probably one of my favorite days of the year. A whole day dedicated to cheesecake. Yep – today is National Cheesecake Day. A day dedicated to my favorite cream cheese laden dessert? You can definitely count me in. I love making cheesecake, as well. Some of my favorite recipes here on Taste and Tell are cheesecake recipes. So when Roxana from Roxana’s Home Baking sent out the call for food bloggers to unite in their love of cheesecake, I just knew that I had to answer that call. The pressure was on. I had to create something that could stand up to my Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake. Or my Lemon Cheesecake. And if you’ve tried either of those recipes, you’ll know that the competition is stiff. But this white chocolate cheesecake here today? I totally think it lived up to the competition. When I sat down to brainstorm cheesecake flavor ideas, this was the one that stood out to me. I adore macadamia nuts, and I knew that I would love anything that is covered in caramel. What I ended up with totally blew my expectations out of the water. The cheesecake had the perfect texture, and was dense enough to hold the macadamia nuts up so that they didn’t all sink to the bottom, but it was still super creamy and rich. The caramel sauce is slightly salty, which complements the saltiness of the nuts as well. A few hints for when you make this white chocolate cheesecake. And this goes for pretty much every cheesecake. 1 – The foil wrapped springform pan. I always wrap my pan in foil. Actually, I usually triple wrap it. This is not a cheap cheesecake, and it would be a shame to have water leak into your pan and ruin the whole thing. Wrap it, and wrap it tight. 2 – Thoroughly scrape the bowl of your mixer. I always seem to have a bunch of cream cheese at the very bottom of my mixer bowl that doesn’t like to mix in, so I have to make sure it is all incorporated. 3 – The water bath. I like to use a water bath when I make cheesecake for a few reasons. First, it helps to keep your cheesecake from cracking. I rarely have a cheesecake crack, and I credit it to the water bath and leaving the cheesecake in the oven to gradually cool down. The water bath also helps the cheesecake to cook evenly. 4 – Cooling the cheesecake. Like I mentioned before, I leave the cheesecake in the oven to cool. Once it is set on the edges with just a little bit of jiggle in the center, I turn off the oven and then prop the door open with a kitchen towel or pot holder. Then I leave the cheesecake there until it is almost to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.
