Fresh Plum Cheesecake with plum syrup is one of the best desserts I have ever tasted. Of course, we are making this cake for the cheesecake part, but dang! The syrup is like sipping heaven!
Fresh Plum Cheesecake is delicious
You will need fresh Italian plums for this Fresh Plum Cheesecake with Plum syrup. Honestly, here in Texas we rarely find these types of plums at the supermarket. If you can’t find them, you can certainly substitute whatever stone fruit is available at your super market – cherries, peaches, apricots, plumcots…whatever looks good.
The center pit of the Italian plum needs to be removed. Also, the plums need deep cross cuts on the top and bottom so that they open up into joined sections. Even if my description doesn’t make sense, take a look at the video above. Working with these plums is easy. You will learn alot!
But let’s get back to talking about the amazing plum syrup! It’s very simple to make and the color is absolutely astounding! I would be happy with just the plum syrup alone! I like to add a bit of amaretto liqueuer to the fresh plum syrup but that is certainly optional. If you want the almond flavor without the alcohol, simply substitute 2 teaspoons of almond extract (10ml) instead of the amaretto.
If you have any leftover syrup, try adding it to iced tea or club soda for a delicious refreshment. Of course pancakes and waffles would be just heavenly! Of course you may decide to simply drink it out of the bottle! I am not judging!
Even though I bake several times a week, I am always amazed how delectable home made desserts can be. Fresh Plum Cheesecake is right up there with some of my very favorite recipes. This one has quite a few steps but it is definitely worth it!
