Description
A creamy, decadent baked cheesecake with a vibrant raspberry swirl and a buttery biscuit crust.
Ingredients
225 g (2 ¼ cups) finely crushed digestive biscuits
75 g (â…” stick) unsalted butter, melted
400 g (3 â…“ cups) fresh or frozen raspberries for filling
600 g (2 â…” cups) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
115 g (½ cup) full-fat plain or Greek-style yoghurt, room temperature
200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
20 g (3 tbsp) cornstarch
½ tsp vanilla bean paste
3 large eggs, room temperature
200 g (1 â…” cups) fresh or frozen raspberries for sauce
75 g (¼ cup + 2 tbsp) granulated sugar for sauce
240 g (2 cups) fresh raspberries for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the raspberry sauce by simmering 200g raspberries with 75g sugar over medium heat until thickened. Strain through a sieve to remove seeds and set aside to cool.
Step 4: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 200g sugar until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Mix in the Greek yogurt, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste until well combined.
Step 6: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on the lowest speed just until combined to avoid air bubbles.
Step 7: Pour the cream cheese batter over the cooled crust. Drop small spoonfuls of the raspberry sauce onto the surface.
Step 8: Use a toothpick to swirl the sauce through the batter to create a marbled effect.
Step 9: Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are firm but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Step 10: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour. Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure all dairy and eggs are at room temperature to prevent lumps. For a gluten-free version, use GF digestive biscuits.
