Amasake Cheesecake with Fruit Glaze

Cooking Instructions

To make the crust: Prepare the pie crust. Place the prepared crust in a lightly oiled, 9-inch pie pan and freeze for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350F. Weight the bottom of the crust with pie weights and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and let cool.

To make the filling: In a large saucepan, whisk together all of the ingredients, except the dissolved kuzu, and bring to a low boil, stirring constantly. Add the dissolved kuzu to the boiling mixture and boil for 1 - 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.

Pour the filling into the baked pie crust and chill for 1 hour before pouring the glaze on top.

To make the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the dissolved agar-agar to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the dissolved kuzu and return to a boil. Cook on high heat for 1 - 2 minutes, or until the mixture turns clear and thickens.

Pour the glaze on top of the chilled filling, garnish with fresh fruit, and chill for 30 - 60 minutes. Serve.
