DESSERTS: TRAEGER CITRUS CHEESECAKE WITH PHYLLO CRUST

Trina Dunkin • Apr 05, 2023

CITRUS CHEESECAKE WITH PHYLLO CRUST

This crispy, frilly edges of this orange imbued cheesecake look so stunning that it’s hard to believe how easy this festive dessert is to make. Look for the paper-thin sheets of dough called phyllo (sometimes spelled filo) in the frozen food section of the supermarket. Though the cheesecake is quick and easy to make, it will need to chill for at least 4 hours before serving, so plan accordingly.

Prep Time
15 MINUTES

Cook Time
30 MINUTES

Pellets
PECAN

INGREDIENTS

PHYLLO CRUST
10 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted as package directs
4 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/4 Cup sugar

FILLING
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
2/3 Cup sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Teaspoon finely grated orange zest or lemon zest
1/4 Teaspoon kosher salt

TOPPING
1/4 Cup orange or lemon marmalade (optional)
2 Tablespoon chopped pistachios (optional)


STEPS
1

If your grill allows, position a grill grate in the middle position. Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 350°F; this will take about 15 minutes.

2

Prepare the crust: Have handy a large piece of parchment paper for stacking the phyllo sheets. Keeping the phyllo sheets covered while working so they don’t dry out, place one sheet of phyllo dough on the parchment paper and brush it all over with butter. Take a second sheet and slightly rotating it so the ends do not match up, place it on top of the first sheet. Brush with butter and sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar. Continue layering with sheets of phyllo dough, rotating each slightly, brushing with melted butter, and sprinkling with sugar until all but the last sheet of phyllo has been used. Place the final sheet on top of the stack but leave it plain (without butter and sugar).

3

Transfer the phyllo crust from the parchment to the springform pan, discarding the parchment. Gently press the stack of phyllo into the pan, allowing the edges to overhang.

4

Make the filling: In the bowl of food processor, combine the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, orange or lemon zest, and salt. Process until smooth, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer.)

5

Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Allow the uneven edges of the phyllo dough to fall inwards naturally. Place the springform pan on a rimmed baking sheet.

6

Place the baking sheet directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and bake until the crust is golden brown and the center of the cheesecake is almost set, 30 to 40 minutes. The time will vary based on the weather, grate position, and grill model; begin checking on the early side.


7

Remove the cheesecake from the grill and cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Transfer the springform pan to the refrigerator and chill uncovered for at least 4 hours before serving. (You can cover it after the 4 hours, and the cake may be made 24 hours ahead and kept chilled.)

8

For the topping: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the marmalade until slightly fluid, 20 to 30 seconds. Remove the outer ring of the springform pan, then pour the glaze over the cheesecake filling, spread it evenly with a spatula. Top with chopped pistachios as desired, slice, and serve. Enjoy!

As spring arrives, the weather varies across different regions, impacting your gardening plans. While some areas may already be planting this month, in other places it's still too early. Nonetheless, there are plenty of tasks to tackle in your garden this month, whether you have a large yard or a small patio garden. Tasks like pruning, transplanting, and dividing fall-blooming perennials should be on your to-do list , along with setting up trellises and adding compost to your garden beds. Before you dive into these tasks, it's essential to consider your agricultural zone and ensure it is the right time for these activities. If your ground is still frozen, it's best to wait a few more weeks to avoid any potential damage.

This easy-to-make favorite is rolling with Traeger’s signature wood-fired flavor. Serve this sweet treat for breakfast or dish it out for dessert. Prep Time 1 HR 30 MIN Cook Time 20 MIN Pellets PECAN SERVES 8 INGREDIENTS MAIN 1/2 Ounce (2 packets) active dry yeast 1/3 Cup plus 1 teaspoon cane sugar 1 Cup warm water (110°F to 115°F) 5 Cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed 2 Teaspoon Salt 1 Cup warm milk (110°-115°F) 1 Large eggs As Needed oil 1/2 Cup butter, softened 1 Cup brown sugar 2 Tablespoon cinnamon CREAM CHEESE ICING 4 Ounce cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 Cup butter, room temperature 2 Cup powdered sugar 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla 1 Teaspoon milk Pinch Salt STEPS 1 Place the yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and the warm water in a mixing bowl or the base of a stand mixer. Stir to combine. Allow the yeast to proof for 5 minutes, it should start to bubble a bit, showing that the yeast is indeed alive. 2 Sprinkle the flour, salt and remaining 1/3 cup sugar over the yeast mixture. Using a dough hook or wooden spoon, stir for 30 seconds. Pour in the warm milk and egg. 3 Knead again on the medium-low setting, or on a floured work surface by hand until the dough is very soft, adding up to one more cup of flour so the dough is soft and smooth and has lost its sticky quality. 4 Coat the bowl with a small film of oil and place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat the dough evenly with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth, place in a warm spot in the kitchen and allow to proof, about 45 minutes. The dough will have almost doubled in size. 5 In a small bowl combine the softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon. 6 Punch down the dough and roll out into a rectangle on a floured work surface. 7 Spread the cinnamon butter mixture over the top of the dough and roll up into a log. 8 Cut the dough into rolls about 2" thick. Transfer rolls to a buttered baking dish or cast iron and lightly cover with a kitchen towel. Let the rolls rise again until doubled in size. 9 When ready to cook, set the temperature to 325℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. 10 Place the baking dish or cast iron directly on the grill grate and bake the rolls until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. 11 For the Icing: place cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix together on medium speed until combined. Reduce the speed to low and add in the powdered sugar slowly. Add vanilla, a pinch of salt and milk and mix to combine. 12 Remove the rolls from the grill and spread icing on top while the rolls are still warm. Enjoy!

Here are some tips to help revive your lawn and make it look greener and healthier. The first step is to carefully rake and dethatch. When raking, it’s important to wait until the grass is dry to avoid causing damage. When dethatching, be sure to remove any excess thatch or dead material from your lawn, as a layer thicker than an inch can prevent nutrients and water from reaching your grass. It’s important to work gently to ensure that your lawn can receive the nourishment it needs.Next, it’s crucial to aerate your lawn to improve the circulation of air, water, and nutrients to the soil and roots. Aeration can be done using a pitchfork or a specialized tool called a lawn aerator. This process helps to relieve compacted soil and promote healthy root growth.
