Instructions
Oatmeal biscuit (base)
- Melt the butter in the microwave or using a double boiler.
- Chop walnuts
- Preheated to oven 180°C (350°F) 10 minutes before use.
- In a bowl, combine oatmeal, walnuts, brown sugar, and melted butter Mix briefly until the butter is incorporated throughout.
- Place in a mold and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown Let cool until ready to use.
Mascarpone cheesecake
- Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature
- Soak the sheet gelatin in cold water until it becomes soft. If using powdered gelatin, mix the gelatin powder with a little over 1 tablespoon of water and let it hydrate.
- Combine the cream cheese and granulated sugar, and mix them together slowly. Add the mascarpone cheese and continue to mix until well combined.
- Heat the heavy cream to dissolve the gelatin. (The gelatin has a low melting point and can be dissolved with the heat from your hands, so there's no need to bring it to a boil.) Drain any excess liquid from the softened gelatin and add it to the warm heavy cream. (If using powdered gelatin, add the gelatin mixture along with the water.) Gradually add this mixture to the cheesecake batter and mix well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared crust with oatmeal biscuits. (Make sure the oatmeal biscuits are completely cooled at this point.) Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
- Wash figs and drain off the water. Slice the figs horizontally into slices about 5mm / 0.2 inches thick. Select one of the same size in the center and decorate the surface of the cake.
