Mixed Berry Cheesecake
30 minutes prep, 2 hours (to chill) cook
Serves 8
Ingredients
125g digestive biscuits
75g ginger biscuits
100g melted butter
300g strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
150g icing sugar
400g cream cheese
300g double cream
Extra berries and edible flowers to decorate
Method
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.
Put the berries into a pan with the icing sugar and heat. Stir and mash the berries until they break down, 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.
Beat the cream cheese and cream together then whip in the berry juice until well combined. Spoon the cream mixture over the biscuit base, level the top and return to the fridge to set for 2 hours or until firm.
To serve, carefully remove the cake tin, use a pallet knife to separate the greaseproof paper from the base. Slide onto a serving plate and top with extra berries and edible flowers.
