Vanilla Cheesecake with Candied Chestnuts Recipe

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line six individual round molds with parchment paper. Crush the cookies finely. Melt the butter. Mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter until a dough forms. Press the mixture into the bottom of the molds firmly. Place in the refrigerator.

Crumble the candied chestnuts into pieces. Whisk the cottage cheese with 100 grams of light brown sugar and vanilla sugar, then add the flour followed by the eggs one by one, whisking continuously. Finish with the fresh cream. Then fold in the pieces of candied chestnuts.

Divide the mixture into the molds and place them in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and let them cool completely before refrigerating.

To finish, at the moment of serving, unmold the cheesecakes, sprinkle with powdered sugar, decorate with whole glazed chestnuts, and serve.
