Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2/3 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon grated grapefruit zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2-1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons pink grapefruit juice
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • Fresh citrus fruit, optional
Text Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place a greased 6-in. springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Wrap foil securely around pan. Pour 1 in. water into a 6-qt. slow cooker. Layer two 24-in. pieces of foil. Starting with a long side, fold up foil to create a 1-in.-wide strip; roll into a coil. Place in slow cooker to form a rack for the cheesecake.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon sugar, zest and ginger; stir in butter. Press onto bottom and about 1 in. up the side of prepared pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Beat in sour cream and grapefruit juice. Add eggs and beat on low speed just until combined.
  4. Pour into crust. Place springform pan on top of coil. Cover slow cooker with a double layer of paper towels; place lid securely over towels. Cook, covered, on high 2 hours. Do not remove lid; turn off slow cooker and let cheesecake stand, covered, in slow cooker 1 hour. Center of cheesecake will be just set and top will appear dull.
  5. Remove springform pan from slow cooker; remove foil from pan. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack 1 hour. Loosen side from pan with a knife. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled. Remove rim from pan. If desired, garnish with fruit.
Citrus Topping: Top cheesecake with orange and grapefruit sections (from half an orange and half a grapefruit) and kumquat slices. Add sugared cranberries (recipe below) if desired.
Chocolate & Pecan Topping: Melt 2 ounces semisweet chocolate with 1 teaspoon shortening and stir until smooth; drizzle over cheesecake. Top with glazed pecans.
Sugared Cranberry Topping: Lightly mist 1/2 cup fresh cranberries with water; toss with 2 tablespoons sugar. Place over cheesecake; top with orange peel curls. Six-inch springform pans are available at wilton.com.

Cake Flour

Editor's Note: When a recipe calls for cake flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour, but not on a one-for-one basis. For every cup of cake flour called for in the recipe, use a cup minus 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Your cakes may have a slightly heavier, coarser texture made with all-purpose flour.

Test Kitchen tips
  • It's like a cross between a pound cake and a sweet bread, so is it dessert or breakfast? You make the call!
  • Any citrus works well in this cake. If grapefruit isn't your thing, use lemon, orange or lime zest and juice.
  • Feel free to substitute melted coconut oil for the canola oil.
