Serves/Makes: 10 | Ready In: 2-5 hrs
Ingredients:
***Hazelnut Crust***
1 cup roasted hazelnuts (350 degrees F for 10 minutes)
3 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
***Amaretto Cream Cheese Filling***
1/2 cup amaretto
3 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 pound cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 cups cream
***Raspberry Sauce***
3 cups frozen raspberries, thawed
2 tablespoons amaretto
sugar, to taste
Directions:
For Crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 10 inch springform pan and line with greased parchment (not waxed paper). Line a cookie sheet with greased parchment.
Whisk together eggs and vanilla. Remove as much skin from the hazelnuts as you can and process them with one cup of the powdered sugar for 30 seconds. Add both sugars and process briefly to combine.
With processor running, pour in egg mixture and process for 15 seconds or until smooth. Reserve 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter. Pour remaining batter into the spring form pan and smooth with spatula.
Pour reserved batter onto the cookie sheet and spread out into a 7-8 inch disk. Bake crust 25-30 minutes; disk 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Chop up the disk into 1/8 inch pieces and soak in 1/4 cup amaretto (but do not soak for more than 15 minutes).
(Easier option: Use graham cracker crust).
For Filling: Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup amaretto, let stand 5 minutes. Heat in saucepan with hot (not boiling) water stirring for 4 minutes. Leave in hot water to stay warm. Beat cream cheese with mixer for 1 minute. Add lemon juice and zest. Beat cream to soft peaks. Fold 1/3 cream into cream cheese. Fold in remaining whipped cream and soaked macaroon bits.
Pour into prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
For Sauce: Reserve some whole berries for garnish. Puree remaining. Push through sieve to remove seeds. Stir in amaretto or almond liqueur into puree. Add sugar to taste.
To serve: Spoon some sauce on dessert plate, place slice of cake on sauce. Garnish with reserved berries.
