Hello Zampabloggers (or hearts on these dates)!
Today I bring you a perfect recipe to sweeten your romantic Valentine's dinner or any evening in which the "brown" of taking or preparing dessert for friends or family has fallen on you. Sometimes baking, in addition to technique and pure mathematics, is a matter of luck and a "fun" process of trial and error in the kitchen. So I gave with this recipe cheese cake with a touch of manchego, a creamy bite with a lot of personality for all audiences. If you intend to conquer "that special person" this possibly triggers an absolute crush (and that is that what evil being does not like a good piece of cheesecake).
Follow the step by step of this very easy recipe and do not hesitate to innovate and incorporate other types of cheeses and jams. You may be able to create more love than I have ever achieved.
- 60 butter g
- 70 g almonds
- 4 eggs M
- 600 g of cream cheese (Philadelphia light)
- 500 ml of liquid pastry cream
- 200 g of sugar

- We put the mold in the oven for 10 minutes, so that the base is browned and hardened.
- We beat the eggs with the sugar, until they turn white.

- We beat with a mixer but not at maximum power, we want to prevent bubbles from forming due to the air entering the handle.
- It will be necessary to beat this mixture with the mixer, but do it carefully, making sure that it takes in the least amount of air.

- After 10 minutes, remove the mold from the oven, and lower its temperature to 150 degrees.
