Ingredients
For the base:
- 250g digestive biscuits
- 80g butter in room temperature
For the cream:
- 250g heavy cream
- 100g powdered sugar
- 300g cream cheese
- 1 lemon (zest)
For the sour cherry sauce:
- 1 pack of compote sour cherry
- 1 ½ tablespoon corn flour
Execution:
We grind the biscuits in the mixer and turn them into powder. We transfer them into a bowl. Add the butter and crumble them with your fingers until they look like wet sand.
In a buttered 20 cm ring mold, spread the biscuit mixture and press it well with the back of a spoon to stick and smooth its surface. Bake the biscuit in a preheated oven at 180 oC for 10’.Let it cool.
The cream of the cheesecake
Meanwhile, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar into a light whipped cream (do not beat too much because it will stiffen). Add the zest and the cream cheese and gently beat them in a low speed until combined. Pour the cream over the baked and now cold biscuit base. Place the tin in the fridge for at least 1h to chill and set.
The sour cherry sauce
Drain the sour cherries. In a small pot, put the sour cherry juice with the corn flour and stir it constantly with a whisk, let it thicken for 2’-3’. Remove it from the heat and add the drained sour cherries. Let the sauce cool down. Spread it over the chilled cheesecake.
