DESSERTS- CHEESECAKES:
Malted Mousse Cake
 

Malted Mousse Cake

 

A wonderful malt-flavored cheesecake...
 

3 cups 

 

shortbread cookies

 

½ cup 

 

sliced almonds

 

5 Tbs 

 

butter, melted

 

2 ounces 

 

white chocolate

 

1¼ cups 

 

whipping cream, divided

 

1 envelope 

 

unflavored gelatin

 

1/3 cup 

 

milk

 

Two 8-ounce 

 

packages of cream cheese, softened

 

1/3 cup 

 

granulated sugar

 

3 Tbs 

 

plain malted milk powder

 

¼ tsp 

 

salt

 

 

 

pastel malted-milk candy eggs or malted milk balls

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. For crust, in food processor bowl combine cookies and nuts; process to fine crumbs. Add butter; process just until combined. Pat in bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Completely cool in pan or rack about 45 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, in small saucepan melt white chocolate with ¼ cup of the whipping cream; set aside.

3

In a small microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle gelatin over milk; let stand until gelatin is softened, about 3 minutes. Microcook gelatin mixture, uncovered, for 15 seconds, just until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir gelatin mixture into white chocolate mixture. Refrigerate, stirring often, until chocolate-gelatin mixture is chilled and begins to thicken.

4

Meanwhile, in extra-large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sugar, malted milk powder, and salt on medium until light and fluffy. Gradually add thickened gelatin mixture; beat just until combined. In medium mixing bowl beat remaining 1 cup whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until blended. Spoon into cooled crust. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or up to 8 hours.

5

To serve, remove sides of pan; place on serving plate. Top with malted milk eggs; slice cake.

 

Servings: 12

 

 Cooking Tips

*You can also sub 6 ounces of amaretti for the shortbread cookies and combine those with hazelnuts instead of almonds.

**This cake is a cross between a cheesecake and a mousse.

Restaurant Quality!- would make it again.  "We're huge malt fans so we absolutely loved this.  It was a little less dense than a cheesecake but thicker than a mousse.  Fun Easter dessert!"
