Amy Brookes is a cheese-cake star, in my book. With no formal training in baking, Amy makes one of the best cheesecakes I have ever tasted. If you don’t know me, I am one of those “I am full but will have dessert” guys. I have had my share of cheesecakes from all over the world, and Cake Envy in downtown Honolulu deserves some medals.<\/p>\n

Amy has a few secrets she couldn’t share with us, but she did give us a recipe we can all try to follow. Please call me after you make this one. I am coming over!<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

LILIKOI CHEESECAKE <\/strong><\/p>\n

* 15 vanilla sandwich cookies<\/strong>, blended fine
\n* 1 cup granulated sugar <\/strong>
\n* 3 blocks cream cheese<\/strong>, room temperature
\n* 4 eggs <\/strong>
\n* 2 tablespoons Aunty Lilikoi Concentrate <\/strong><\/p>\n

Add cookies to blender, chopper or food processor. Blend until fine crumbs are formed. Press cookies into a springform pan\/mold and put in freezer for 10-15 minutes to form crust.<\/p>\n

Blend sugar and cream cheese in mixer until well blended.<\/p>\n

Add eggs and continue blending.<\/p>\n

Stop to scrape sides occasionally and continue blending until ingredients are incorporated.<\/p>\n

Add lilikoi concentrate and blend for one more minute.<\/p>\n

Remove crust from freezer, pour cream cheese mixture over crust. Place pan in water bath and bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes.<\/p>\n

Once cheesecake is done, you can opt to leave it in the oven with the door ajar for 30-45 minutes. This, along with cooking in a water bath, will prevent your cheesecake from cracking.<\/p>\n

Once at room temperature, place cheesecake in refrigerator for at least two hours.<\/p>\n

When ready to serve, prepare the glaze.<\/p>\n

For Glaze (Gelee): <\/strong><\/p>\n

* 1\/2 cup water <\/strong>
\n* 1\/4 cup granulated sugar <\/strong>
\n* 2 tablespoons Aunty Lilikoi Concentrate <\/strong>
\n* 1 tablespoon cornstarch <\/strong><\/p>\n

Add water, sugar and lilikoi concentrate to a small pot and whisk on medium heat one to two minutes.<\/p>\n

Add cornstarch and whisk until sauce thickens. You can allow to cool to room temperature, then pour over entire cheesecake or drizzle on individual pieces.<\/p>\n
