Ingredients

The Cherry Coulis

  • 3 ½ cup pitted fresh cherries (490 gr)
  • cup sugar (70 gr)
  • 3 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup water (125 ml)

The Base

  • 5.3 oz digestive biscuits (150 gr)
  • 2.5 oz amaretti biscuits (75 gr)
  • cup unsalted butter (75 gr), melted

The Cheesecake

  • 7 oz full fat cream cheese (200 gr), room temperature
  • 7 oz mascarpone cheese (200 gr), room temperature
  • 7 oz condensed milk (200 gr)
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder (10 gr) or any amount/type that sets 2 cup water (500 ml)

Instructions

The Cherry Coulis

  • Add the cherries together with sugar, corn starch and lemon juice into a pan and cook on medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Then add in water and mix well. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Separate 1 cup of cherry coulis and blend it into a fine mixture. Leave both the blended mixture and the rest of the coulis to cool completely before using.

The Base

  • Using a food processor, blend the digestive and amaretti biscuits into fine crumbs. Pour into a bowl and add in melted butter. Mix well to form wet sand like mixture.
  • Then pour it into a 8 inch (20 cm) springform pan. Press the crumbs tightly to the base. Place the base in the freezer for 30 minutes.

The Cheesecake

  • Add both cream cheese and mascarpone cheese into a bowl and whisk for a few minutes until fluffy. Then add in condensed milk and cooled blended cherry coulis. Mix until well combined and set aside.
  • In another bowl, add gelatin and lemon juice together and mix. Leave for the gelatin to soak, for 5 minutes. Then heat the mixture in the microwave until the gelatin is totally dissolved.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of cheesecake mixture into the gelatin mixture and mix well. Then pour it into the cheesecake mixture and immediately mix everything together until well combined. Note: Make sure your gelatin mixture is not hot when you pour it into the cheesecake mixture.
  • Pour everything into our chilled base and wiggle the pan a bit to level the surface. Then chill in the fridge overnight or until the cheesecake is fully set.

Serving

  • After the cheesecake is fully set, pour the rest of cherry coulis on top. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
