Recipe: Black Forest Cheesecake

Hello!

 

It has been a very long time since I've shared a recipe with you all so for today's post, I thought I would share one that I've wanted to make for you all for some time. This cheesecake has been a favourite at all of my personal events for awhile now. Anytime a birthday comes up, this special treat is always requested! 

This cheesecake is best prepared the night before and is super simple to make!

Here's what you'll need to create this cheesecake:

 

Base-

1 Packet Choc Ripple biscuits

80grams melted butter

 

1 packet of Philly cream cheese

3/4 cup caster sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 tbsp. lemon juice

1/3 cup water

1 tbsp. gelatine

300ml thickened cream, whipped

1 tin pitted black cherries (drained- be sure to reserve the syrup for the topping)

1 tsp. cornflour

 

Using a food processor, crush the choc ripple biscuits until fine and add the melted butter. Press the mix into a prepared spring form pan (lined with baking paper) to make the base, then refrigerate.

 

 

 

Again using a food processor, blend cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla extract and caster sugar until smooth.

 

Dissolve gelatine in water and microwave for 30 seconds. Then add the gelatine to the cream cheese mixture and blend well.

 

Place the tinned cherries on top of the prepared base and cover with the cheesecake mixture. Make sure to tap the pan on your bench a couple of times to release the air bubbles. Refrigerate until firm.
 

 

To make the topping for your cheesecake, mix the cherry syrup and cornflour in a saucepan and bring it to the boil. Set it aside to cool for a moment before spreading it on top of the cheesecake.

Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this post! If you do make it, please let me know how you found it - I'd also love to see pictures of your recreations!

Have a fantastic week and i'll talk to you all again soon!
