Plum delight: A twist on classic cheesecake for autumn treats
The combination of delicate cheesecake, sweet plums, and a crunchy crumble is a foolproof recipe for a delicious cake that will delight both household members and guests. Everyone eagerly awaits their slice as soon as it appears on the table. I've never had a better cheesecake.
There are countless ideas for cheesecake, but this one with plums stole my heart. It's a simple yet quite unusual combination, since plums more often end up in yeast or shortcrust cakes than as an addition to cheese filling. However, it's worth trying this combination because plums and cheesecake pair perfectly.
Cheesecake with plums
Autumn is definitely all about plums, so it's worth taking full advantage of the season. Cheesecake with these fruits will impress even the pickiest connoisseurs of sweets. At the same time, it's simple to prepare, so you don't need to stress about baking it.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs,
- 7 tablespoons vegetable oil,
- 1/2 cup sugar,
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder,
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour,
Cheese filling:
- 6 egg whites,
- 1 kg cheesecake quark,
- 1 cup sugar,
- 2.5 tablespoons potato starch.
Plums:
- 300 grams plums,
- 3 tablespoons raspberry pudding,
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Crumble:
- 150 grams butter,
- 100 grams sugar,

Step 2: Add flour to the mixture and mix thoroughly to avoid any lumps.
Step 3: Proceed to the cheese filling. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add sugar and potato starch. Gradually incorporate the cheesecake quark, mixing the filling.
Step 4: Divide the plums in half and remove the pits. Combine with raspberry pudding and cinnamon, and mix.
Step 5: Prepare the crumble by mixing the melted butter, sugar, and flour, kneading the mixture until crumbly.
Step 6: Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the egg and flour mixture in and smooth it out. Then add the cheese filling. Arrange the plums, sprinkle the crumble on top, and place in the oven preheated to 170°C. Bake for an hour.
Step 7: Sprinkle the baked and slightly cooled cheesecake with powdered sugar and cut into portions. Enjoy!
