Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (100 g) digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 5 tbsp (70 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 lbs (500 g) cream cheese
- 1 cups (250 ml) whipping cream
- 50 g (2 oz) white chocolate
- 40 g (1 oz) sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp (10 g) powdered gelatin
- 8 oz (200 ml) cherry juice
- 100 g (4 oz) pitted cherries
- 2 tbsp vanilla pudding powder
- 3 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Wrap the ring of your springform pan with plastic wrap.
- In a large bowl, mix finely crushed biscuits with melted butter and sugar.
- Press the mixture onto the bottom of your springform pan and refrigerate while you make the filling.
- Beat the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold it into the cheese mixture.
- Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then add to the cheese mixture.
- Prepare gelatin according to package instructions and add to the mixture. Combine everything and pour over the chilled crust.
- Refrigerate while you make the topping.
- Combine cherry juice with cherries and sugar in a saucepan, cook on low heat until sugar dissolves.
- Add sifted vanilla pudding powder, combine, and cook for a few more minutes, constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes. When slightly cooled, pour over the cheesecake and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, unclasp the sides of the pan, remove the cheesecake, and serve.
Notes
- For a smoother cheesecake, ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before beating.
- To intensify the cherry flavor, use a high-quality cherry juice or add a teaspoon of cherry extract to the sauce.
- This cheesecake can be made ahead of time; it tastes even better after a day or two in the refrigerator.
