Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 1 hour hr
Resting 4 hours hrs
Let’s prepare some cooking utensils to start. You will need:
- Boiled water (be careful)
- An squared or rounded 20cm springform pan
- A bigger pan (roasting pan) to bain-marie the mixture
- A medium sauce pan
- Aluminum foil
Optional:
- Hand mixer or food processor.
- Plastic foil.
- Masher or fork
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 60 grs butter melted
Cream Cheese Filling
- 500 grs cream cheese.
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup Cream 35%
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Strawberry Topping
- 350 grs mix of raspberries and strawberries
- 1/2 tsp gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 lemon juice
Recommendation: for an easy blend, the cream cheese should be at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 375F. You should use the middle or bottom rack.
Prepare the springform pan first. Grab the foil and wrap it tightly around the bottom and sides of the pan.
Let's start with the crust. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients and place them inside the pan. Press and distribute the mix evenly into the pan. Set it aside for a few minutes.
In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and lightly mix it until soft. Then, add the rest of the ingredients until well combined. You can add the eggs one at a time until fully mixed.
Once it's ready, put the mixture into the pan and place the pan into the bigger pan (roasting pan).
Be careful with this step: Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the springform pan.
With caution, place it into the oven and bake for around 1 hour or until the top is firm. The center will jiggle a bit but it shouldn't be liquid.
Berries topping:
While the cream cheese filling is baking, let's make the berries topping. Grab a saucepan and add the berries (you can cut the strawberries in half if you want), sugar, water, and lemon juice. Combine and bring it to a boil for a few minutes (5 to 10).
Once it's ready, mash the berries until it looks like jam. Add the gelatine and mix very well. Let it cool.
Once it's ready, let it rest in the turned-off oven for about one hour. Then, remove it from the oven and from the water and remove the foil.
Add the berries topping now and cover it with plastic foil or a plate and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Then, remove it from the springform pan when it's completely cold and serve.
I hope you enjoy it! 🤤
