Ingredients:
- 150 grams of cookies (choose from wine, butter, or vanilla flavor)
- 90 grams of melted butter
- 2 bars of cream cheese (approximately 450 grams total)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup natural yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Juice of 1 large lemon (or 2 smaller ones)
- Optional: lemon zest
- 3 eggs
- Raspberries or any fruit, jam, or topping of your choice
Directions:
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the cookies into fine crumbs and mix with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the yogurt, vanilla extract, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest if using. Mix until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next.
- Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled crust. If using raspberries or other fruits, you can either layer them on the crust before pouring the filling or scatter them on top.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Prepare a water bath by placing the cheesecake pan in a larger baking tray filled with hot water halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar to prevent cracking. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, garnish with additional raspberries or your chosen toppings.
Enjoy this luxurious Supreme Raspberry Cheesecake and indulge in a dessert that’s as delightful to the palate as it is to the eyes!
