Key Ingredients for Cheesecake with Raisins

To whip up this delightful cheesecake, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 270 g flour (Type 405)
• 130 g powdered sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 150 g butter
• 500 g lean curd
• 500 g curd (20% fat content)
• 220 g sugar
• 1 pack vanilla pudding powder
• 3 eggs
• 120 ml neutral food oil
• 100 g raisins
• Powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the flour with powdered sugar and salt. Add the butter in pieces, and knead quickly into a smooth dough. Form the dough into a flat disk, wrap it in foil, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (150 degrees for fan ovens). Grease the bottom of a springform pan (Ø 26cm).
3. Form the Crust: Press half of the chilled dough into the bottom of the springform pan. Use the remaining dough to line the sides of the pan about 5 cm high. Use a knife to trim any excess dough and pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork.
4. Make the Filling: In another bowl, mix the lean curd with the vanilla pudding powder and 200 g of sugar. Separate the eggs; add the egg yolks to the curd mixture.
5. Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining 20 g of sugar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the curd mixture, followed by the oil and raisins.
6. Combine and Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust, smoothing out the top. Place a water-filled ovenproof dish on the lower rack of the oven to create steam. Bake the cheesecake in the lower third of the oven for about 70 minutes or until set.
