INGREDIENTS

1 cup cream cheese, cubed
3 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup sugar
1 lemon, zest finely grated
1 vanilla bean, seeds only or 2 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
5 eggs, separated, at room temperature
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 tbsp cornstarch

EQUIPMENT

In a Heart Cocotte over medium heat, melt the cream cheese and butter with half of the sugar, the lemon zest, vanilla and salt until smooth, whisking constantly. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Once cooled, wash and dry the Heart Cocotte.

Whisk the milk and lemon juice into the cream cheese mixture. Add the egg yolks and whisk to combine. Sift in the flour and cornstarch. Whisk until very smooth.

In a stand mixer or in another large bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue to whisk until soft peaks form.

Using a Revolution^® Large Spatula, gently fold the meringue into the egg yolk mixture until combined. Pour the mixture into the clean Heart Cocotte. Hit the bottom of the Cocotte on a dish towel placed on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.

Place the Heart Cocotte in a 2.3 L Rectangular Dish. Fill the dish with enough warm water (not boiling water) to come one-third of the way up the side of the Cocotte. Transfer to the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F / 121°C and continue to bake for 1 hour 10 minutes.

Remove the Heart Cocotte from the hot water bath. Let the cheesecake sit on a Cooling Rack to cool or transfer to the refrigerator until completely chilled, about 4 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with icing sugar and top with fresh fruits of your choice, if desired.
