Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line the bottom of a 9" springform pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust by combining all crust ingredients in a food processor until it resembles coarse sand, then press into the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Bake the crust for 8 minutes and set aside to cool.
- Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil and place it in a roasting pan.
- Prepare the cheese mixture by blending cream cheese and sour cream until smooth, then adding honey, eggs, and melted cacao butter.
- Add lemon juice, salt, and tapioca flour, then pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
- Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches 1/4 of the way up the side of the springform pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350°F, then reduce the temperature to 250°F and bake for an additional 45 minutes.
- While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the Crème Anglaise by simmering cream and honey, then slowly mixing it with egg yolks until thickened.
- After 45 minutes, gently spoon the Crème Anglaise on top of the cheesecake and return it to the oven for another 60 minutes.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for about 1 hour.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake uncovered for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle grated palm sugar on top and caramelize it with a propane torch.
- Garnish with fresh fruits and mint leaves.
