minutesIngredients
- The Base of the Cake
100g plain digestive biscuits ( for keto cheesecake you can use 1+1/2 Cup Almond flour and 1/2 Cup Whole Almond)
1 tbsp Vanilla extract
3/4 tbsp Butter
1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon- The Filling
700g (1½ lb) full-fat soft cheese
100g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
150ml or 2/3 cup whipped double cream
- For the topping
250g mixed soft berries
Directions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 160°C (350°F)
- Lightly grease an 8-inch cake pan (it’s preferred to use a removable bottom cake pan) to prevent cheesecake from sticking.
- Place the biscuits inside a plastic bag, and using a rolling pin, crush them until they are finely broken down. ( for the keto base give your crust ingredients a quick blend in the food processor, but do not blend for very long to keep some of the crust.)
- In a medium-sized pan, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in biscuit crumbs. Or you can place the biscuits in a grinder along with the butter, and thoroughly combine the two until they are well mixed.
- Press this mixture firmly into the cake pan you prepared earlier. Even out your crust base with the back of a spoon. Bake in your oven under 350 F for 20-25 minutes.

- The Filling
- Begin by placing the measured cheese in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the cheese until it becomes soft and smooth. Then, add the sugar to the cheese and beat the mixture again until it is well combined. Next, add the vanilla extract to the mixture. Afterward, beat the eggs one by one and add them to the mixture. Finally, gently fold in the double cream until the filling is well blended.
- Carefully transfer the cheese mixture onto the biscuit crust, ensuring an even layer, and smooth out the top.
- Place the prepared cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes. Keep an eye out for the edges of the cheesecake, which should puff up, while the center remains wonderfully soft. Once done, turn the oven off and let the oven door open for 10 minutes.
Take the cheesecake out of the oven and allow it to cool. - When cool, remove from the oven place in the fridge, and chill well. To serve, loosen the cheesecake from the sides of the tin using a small palette knife then decorate with the mixed soft berries.
Notes
- How to serve cheesecake tips:
- Serving your cheesecake is all about presenting a slice of creamy perfection in a way that enhances its deliciousness. Here’s how to do it:
- Chilled Delight: Ensure the cheesecake has been thoroughly chilled before serving. This not only enhances the flavors but also helps with clean slicing.
- Slice with Care: Use a sharp knife that’s been dipped in hot water and wiped dry. This prevents the cheesecake from sticking to the knife and ensures clean, smooth slices.
- Garnish Galore: Add a touch of elegance by garnishing each slice with complementary toppings. Fresh berries, fruit coulis, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of powdered sugar can elevate the presentation.
- Plating Panache: Place each slice on a dessert plate, letting its beauty shine through. You can also drizzle some sauce or coulis around the plate for a restaurant-worthy look.
- Temperature Consideration: Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to fully develop and the texture to soften slightly.
- Accompaniments: If you’d like, pair your cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Enjoy the Moment: Finally, savor each bite slowly and appreciate the symphony of flavors and textures you’ve created.
