Ingredients:
- Base:
- 200g butter biscuits
- 100g melted butter
- Cream Cheese Filling:
- 700g cream cheese
- 3 eggs
- 200ml cream
- 190g sugar
- 45g cornstarch
- Zest of one organic lemon
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- Strawberry Sauce:
- 230ml strawberry juice
- 1 packet dessert sauce powder (no cooking required)
- Additional Toppings:
- Fresh raspberries
- Fresh strawberries
- Fresh blueberries
- Fresh mint
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base: Line a 26cm springform pan with baking paper. Crush the butter biscuits and mix with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the base of the springform pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla sugar, and lemon zest. Add the cornstarch and cream, and mix well. Finally, beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chilled biscuit base. Wrap the outside of the springform pan with aluminum foil (double layer) to prevent water from seeping in. Place an oven-safe dish with water at the bottom of the oven to create steam. Bake for 60 minutes. After baking, turn off the oven, slightly open the door (using a wooden spoon), and let the cheesecake sit for another 20 minutes. Then, remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Strawberry Sauce: Mix the strawberry juice with the dessert sauce powder until thickened. Spread this sauce over the cooled cheesecake.
- Chill and Decorate: Refrigerate the cheesecake for 6-8 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, top with fresh raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and mint leaves.
