It’s been a tough week and you have friends coming over and looking for a real treat that everybody can enjoy. Cheesecake is one of the most versatile desserts because you can flavour it any way you want to. Today, we present the deliciousness of a Berry Baked Cheesecake with a biscuit crust. You get the soft, perfectly creamy cheesecake filling, topped with tart and sweet berries. This great recipe is perfect for those weekend celebrations and goes very well as the centre of the dessert table.
You can use any berries that you want and you can use them separately or as a combination. We have decided to use strawberries, blueberries and mulberries. They are nice and tart when you’ve cooked them a bit and the addition of honey adds to the sweetness. You can use some lemon juice too in this mixture if you want to. The biscuit crust is crunchy and just goes so perfectly well with the rest of the Berry Baked Cheesecake. Remember to only cover your cheesecake with the berry mixture once it has cooled.
Are you looking for a great dessert that the whole family can enjoy? The humble Berry Baked Cheesecake is a great dessert for your weekend parties.

2 tubs (200 g) strawberries
1 tub (150 g) blueberries
1 tub (150 g) mulberries
2 tbsp honey
CRUST
120 g butter
1 packet (200 g) tennis biscuits or biscuits of your choice
CHEESECAKE FILLING
½ cup sour cream
250 g 250 g tubs of cream cheese
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 tbsp berry mix
3 eggs
zest of 1 lime
3 tbsp honey

Method

BERRY MIX
Slice the strawberries and half the mulberries and add whole blueberries in a thick based saucepan on low heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of honey, simmer until it bubbles (about 30 minutes), then you know its sticky and will not be too runny. Set aside to cool.
CRUST
Preheat the oven to 160°C / 320°F.
Use a 20 cm springform cake tin with removable base.
Line the baking tin with baking paper and over the edges and 3 cm up on the sides. Spray with cooking spray.
Crush biscuits, melt the butter, and mix well.
Press the biscuits in the springform cake tin to cover the bottom and the sides about 3 cm up.
Place all ingredients for the cheese cake filling in a mixing bowl and mix with an electric mixer for 5 minutes until smooth.
Add into the prepared springform pan and place in oven for 55 minutes.
When cooked, remove from oven and cover with a cloth or net. It will settle as it cools.
When totally cooled down, add the berries on top, remove from the springform tin, and place on your favourite serving plate.
