Rich, creamy white chocolate cheesecake topped with a luscious homemade cherry sauce. A delightful no-bake dessert, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

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

  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.
  4. Beat the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold it into the cheese mixture.
  6. Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then add to the cheese mixture.
  7. Prepare gelatin according to package instructions and add to the mixture. Combine everything and pour over the chilled crust.
  8. Refrigerate while you make the topping.
  9. Combine cherry juice with cherries and sugar in a saucepan, cook on low heat until sugar dissolves.
  10. Add sifted vanilla pudding powder, combine, and cook for a few more minutes, constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes. When slightly cooled, pour over the cheesecake and refrigerate overnight.
  12. 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.
