Mixed Fruit Cheesecake 杂果乳酪蛋糕
I’ve been baking the same traditional Christmas fruit cakes (here), using my own recipe, as gifts for my friends every year. So this year. I decided to bake something different and simple; mixed fruit cheesecake that requires no soaking of the mixed fruit, a shorter baking time, and it can be served immediately after being chilled. This mixed fruit cheesecake is dense but not heavy or very dry. It has a citrusy lemon taste with a hint of rum that is perfect to enjoy with a cup of hot coffee.

Hi Ann, can I replace the ground almonds in the cheese batter with flour?
Thank you!
Hi Joyce, you can omit the ground almonds.
Tks, Ann for the recipe. Can i check that for the dried fruits, do I need to sprinkle some flour? Am baking for this Christmas.
Hi Jen, No because there are enough plain flour in the batter. You can cut the mixed fruits to smaller pieces if they’re too big.
Wow! Ann, so beautiful & something different for this Christmas. The fruits are colourful & look delicious, prefer this to the traditional fruit cake. Will bake this, hopefully, will be successful. Many tks, Ann.
Wow, this is really lovely. I envy your friends and relatives who receive this!
Thank you Cheah 🙂

Ann, I like this version of fruit cake because honestly, I prefer a cheesecake to the traditional fruit cake.
Tks for the prompt reply, Ann
