How to make
I'm sharing an easy way to prepare and bake a Cheesecake with Oats without worrying about it cracking. Use a mold measuring 7″ (18 cm) to 8″ (20 cm).
First I start with the preparation of the cake layers. In a bowl, I prepare the dose of oats, the other nuts of choice, the coconut shavings (they are the flavor of the cake layers).
I melt the butter and add it to the mixture. I don't add any sweetener in the mix (sugar, etc.), if you like, use oats with dried fruit for sweetness.
I prepare baking paper, spread the mixture and press it to the bottom of the round mold, form a cake layer and put it in the oven to bake for about 2 minutes at a temperature of 320°F (160°C).
Treated in this way, nuts and coconut shavings become very aromatic and tasty. When I take them out of the oven, I let them cool, then put them in the fridge for 20 minutes.
I start to prepare the cream, take a bowl and pour in the fine cottage cheese (quark). If it is larger, I puree it before adding the eggs. I put the grated lemon peel, the rum essence, 3-4 tablespoons of honey (or 60-100 g of powdered sugar).
I wait about 20-30 minutes for the cottage cheese to aromatize. At this time, the cake layers cool, the eggs are outside so that they are at the same temperature as the cottage cheese. When half an hour has passed, I beat the eggs in a bowl with an egg beater and add them in three or four parts to the cottage cheese and stir until absorbed, the cream is ready.
I take out the mold with the cake layers from the refrigerator, place it on aluminum foil, wrap it well so that it does not leak water when baking in a water bath.
The oven is heated to 280°F (140°C) without a fan (with a fan at 120). I put a baking pan with boiling water and the cheesecake mold in it and bake for an hour. Thus, the cheesecake does not swell and crack and is always perfectly smooth.
When the baking time is up, I turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool. Then I put it in the fridge. It can be left all evening and can be decorated the next day, or after two hours I can take it out and prepare it for eating with the fruits.
