Mascarpone Cheesecake with Balsamic Strawberries

Who doesn’t love cheesecake?!

balsamic cheesecake 3

This Mascarpone Cheese with Balsamic Strawberries recipe comes from bon appetite desserts cookbook, which by the way is one of my favorites

I have always loved the combination of a really good, aged balsamic vinegar with sweets.  I used a raspberry flavored balsamic vinegar and it really turned out well.

The crust is extra special.  It is made with ground almond biscotti crumbs that are blended with butter and chilled prior to filling.  Press the crumbs onto bottom of 9″ spring form pan that has been wrapped in a triple layer of tin foil.

2 pounds of cream cheese and 1/2 pound mascarpone cheese are blended with sugar and eggs to make the silky and creamy filling.

Pour the filling into the prepared crust, place the pan into a roasting pan and fill with water to halfway up sides of pan.  I set the roasting pan on to the oven rack before adding water.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes.  Allow to cool completely before removing outer ring and chill overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare berries 30 minutes prior to serving.  Combine strawberries, balsamic and sugar, stirring every once and awhile.
