Speculoos Cheesecake with Malted Pretzel Crust

Today’s #yahoofoodcakeoftheday hails from Sydney, Australia’s self-taught baker Belinda Lo.
On her blog, The Moonblush Baker, Lo features outlandish desserts such as Pop Rock Balsamic Strawberry Mousse Gateaux and Heaven and Hell Baci Cake. (If you’re lucky enough to live in Sydney, you can order custom cakes and macaron gift boxes from Moonblush.) Lo’s cheesecake is a simpler-looking departure from her more elaborate creations, but she inventively makes the crust with salted pretzels. The filling is a mixture of cream cheese, ricotta, and Speculoos butter—Speculoos Christmas cookies ground into a paste and akin to peanut butter—making the end result much lighter than those dense cheesecake slices you see at your local diner.
Check out Lo’s blog for the recipe and more desserts.
