The perfect centrepiece to impress guests. With its pale pink colour and a bounty of berries on top it’s delicious too.
Serves: 8-10
Prep Time: 40 mins
Cooking Time: 10 mins
INGREDIENTS
• 125g digestive biscuits
• 75g ginger biscuits
• 100g melted butter
• 100g strawberries
• 100g raspberries
• 100g blueberries
• 150g icing sugar
• 400g cream cheese
• 300g double cream
METHOD
1. Line the bottom of a 23cm springform cake tin with greaseproof paper. Put the biscuits into a food processor and whizz into crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and whizz again then tip into the cake tin. Use the bottom of a glass or back of a spoon to press down evenly, then refrigerate to set.
2. Put the berries into a pan with the icing sugar and heat. Stir and mash the berries until they break down, then allow to bubble for a few minutes until the mixture looks like jam. Allow to cool for a few minutes then sieve into a bowl and leave to cool.
3. Beat the cream cheese and cream together then whip in the berry juice until well combined.
4. Spoon the cream mixture over the biscuit base, level the top and return to the fridge to set for two hours or until firm.
To serve, carefully remove the cake tin, and use a pallet knife to separate the greaseproof paper from the base. Slide onto a serving plate and top with extra berries.
Note: Edible flowers look great on this cheesecake too.
