From the video

Answers: How do you make goat cheese cheesecake?

• goat cheese cheesecake
• graham cracker crust
• raspberry cheesecake topping
• water bath cheesecake baking technique

Ingredients

• 6 oz Graham crackers
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 8 oz cream cheese
• goat cheese
• 1 vanilla bean
• heavy cream
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• eggs
• raspberries
• vanilla sugar

What it concludes

• Crushing graham cracker pieces into fairly fine crumbs prevents the crust from becoming too permeable and allowing the filling to seep through.
• Baking the graham cracker crust until you see a dark brown edge and browned bottom surface takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Using goat cheese and cream cheese at room temperature ensures they incorporate smoothly into an ultra-smooth, homogeneous filling.
• Adding an egg yolk to the graham cracker crumb mixture provides extra binding to assist other ingredients.
• Chilling the cheesecake ensures the filling is really set and gives a clean, razor-sharp cut.
