Mixed Berry Cheesecake

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.
