Prep time: 15 minutes | Chill time: 4 hours (or overnight) | Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients:
For the Crispy Crust:
1.5 cups (approx. 150g) Graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed into fine crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Velvety Cheesecake Filling:
2 packs (400g total) Cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice (adds that authentic tangy flavor!)
For the Glossy Berry Topping (To Match the Photo):
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon water
For garnish: Fresh raspberries, blueberries, red currants, and a mint leaf.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Press the Crust: Mix your crushed biscuit crumbs and melted butter together until it feels like wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or a parchment-lined dish to form an even, flat crust. Pop it in the fridge to set while you make the filling.
Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set it aside.
Mix the Cream Cheese: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice together until completely smooth and lump-free.
Fold and Chill: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until fully combined. Spoon the smooth filling over your chilled crust, smooth out the top with a spoon, and place it in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
Make the Quick Berry Compote: While it chills, heat your mixed berries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, mashing the berries slightly until it thickens into a glossy, jam-like glaze. Let it cool completely.
Decorate & Serve: Once the cheesecake is firm, spread the cooled red berry compote evenly across the top. To replicate our stunning photo perfectly, cluster a handful of fresh whole raspberries, blueberries, and a fresh mint leaf right in the center before slicing and serving!
