Yesterday I decided to give a try to cheesecakes. Is not that I don't like them, it's just that I prefer chocolate hundred times more but...omg this one is YUMMY!
It was actually my other half's idea and I ended up doing it! So people, if you like cheesecakes you definitely gonna love this one!
INGREDIENTS FOR A 18 to 20 CM MOULD:
FOR THE BASE:
- 170g of any digestive biscuits (13 biscuits aprox.)
- 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 95g of melted butterFOR THE FILLING:
- 800 g of cream cheese (Philadelphia)
- 160g of white sugar
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 4 eggs
- 65ml of whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste
First thing is preheating the oven at 180 degrees. Grease your mould with a bit of butter or spray.
Crush your biscuits until they look like breadcrumbs. Mix them with the melted butter and the brown
sugar. Cover the base of your mould with the mixture until it's firm and refrigerate.While the base is chilling, prepare the filling!

With an electric mixer or a whisk, mix the cream cheese with the white sugar and the flour until it's blended. Add the eggs one by one. Finally add the vanilla paste and keep mixing BUT NOT FOR TOO LONG! Because if we mix or whisk for too long, once the cheesecake is in the oven it'll start showing these cracks that some cheesecakes have! And we don't want that ;)
Remove the base of the cheesecake from the fridge and fill the mould in with the cheese dough.

Bake the cake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes and then keep the oven at 160 degrees for at least another hour. After an hour check the cheesecake and move the mould, if the centre of the cake is the only part that moves that means that your cheesecake is ready!!!
Allow it to cool completely and then keep it in the fridge.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE BLACKBERRY SAUCE
- 300g of blackberries
- 70g of icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons of corn flour
Put all these ingredients into a pan and cook them over low heat. Stir until all the blackberries get a purée look.
Allow the sauce to cool down and then serve it over the cheesecake.
