FRUIT AND MASCARPONE ITALIAN CHEESECAKE/PIE



Fruit and Mascarpone Italian Cheesecake/Pie image

I created this pie in my Advanced Food Class in college...It is light,delicious, and very simple to make! You can use whatever sliced fruit you like as a topping. During the holidays I use kiwi and strawberry (red and green!) and shape the kiwi into a christmas tree in the middle and surround the rest of the pie with sliced strawberries! :) Enjoy!

16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/4 c sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
5 eggs
16 oz mascarpone cheese

  • 4. Place the pan in the oven and fill halfway up the sides of the springform with warm water.
  • 5. Bake for 55 minutes at 325. Turn off the oven and leave the cake inside for 45 minutes, until the center just seems set but will still ripple when the pan is jiggled.
  • 6. Remove from water bath and cool compeletely on a wire rack. When it has cooled, refrigerate overnight or until cold, before serving.
