For the January/February magazine, our photographer and cooking extraordinaire, Franck Schmitt, created a delightful selection of recipes using seasonal citrus ingredients. The full menu features Citrus Carpaccio with Smoked Duck Breast, Scallops with Orange Butter, Citrus Marmalade, and a fresh take on Grandma’s Citrus Cake.
To complement the array of sweet and tangy desserts, we are delighted to share the second cake recipe from this collection: Bergamot Cheesecake.
Bergamot is a fragrant citrus fruit that is best described as a hybrid between a lemon and a bitter orange. Either yellow or green in color depending on ripeness, the sour bergamot adds a perfect balance to the creamy cheesecake and the sugary crust.
