  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 5 tbsp (70 g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

  • 500 g cream cheese
  • 1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
  • 50 g white chocolate
  • 40 g sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp (10 g) powdered gelatin

For the Topping

  • 200 ml cherry juice
  • 100 g pitted cherries (use frozen if not in season)
  • 2 tbsp vanilla pudding powder
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Base

  1. Wrap the ring of your springform pan with plastic wrap.
  2. In a large bowl, mix finely crushed biscuits with melted butter and sugar.
  3. Press the mixture onto the bottom of your springform pan and refrigerate while you make the filling.

Make the Filling

  1. Beat the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold it into the cheese mixture.
  3. Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then add to the cheese mixture.
  4. Prepare gelatin according to package instructions and add to the mixture. Combine everything and pour over the chilled crust.
  5. Refrigerate while you make the topping.

Prepare the Topping

  1. Combine cherry juice with cherries and sugar in a saucepan, cook on low heat until sugar dissolves.
  2. Add sifted vanilla pudding powder, combine, and cook for a few more minutes, constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes. When slightly cooled, pour over the cheesecake and refrigerate overnight.

Serve the Cheesecake

  1. The next day, unclasp the sides of the pan, remove the cheesecake, and serve.

Note: You can use store-bought cherry pie filling for the topping.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Sift the vanilla pudding powder to avoid lumps in the topping.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute the cherry topping with other fruit toppings of your choice.
