White Chocolate and Berry Cheesecake

The delicious white chocolate and berry cheesecake. A lovely fresh recipe featuring beautiful berries.

A good cheesecake recipes is such a home staple here in Australia don’t you think? Perfect for to take along to a BBQ and much loved by nearly everyone.

This recipe makes quite a light and creamy cake.

I really dislike a stodgy base and so you will need to have a light hand in preparing the base to this recipe. Start by leaving some of the biscuit crumb out of the mixture and only add it in if you want your base to be a little drier.

As a side note, I always use a Marie Biscuit for my biscuit base because that is what I was taught. You could feel free to roam from that if you like and even incorporate a lovely bit of chocolate biscuit. Again, you will have to do some trial and error with your cookie base to get your consistency right. You want it to hold together but not be stodgy so you can add more or less butter/ cookie to make that happen.

Make sure you process your crushed biscuits very finely so that the mixture holds together when you cut.

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature and if you are nervous about melting chocolate in the microwave, then don’t do it! The water bath/ stove top is always a gentle and safe way to go.

I hope you enjoy it.
