Method
 

Crust Prep

Filling Prep

  2. In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Assemble & Chill
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is firmly set.
Serve
  1. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform tin, then decorate with fresh berries and mint leaves if desired before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, make the cheesecake the day before you plan to serve it to allow ample time for chilling and setting. You can experiment with different biscuit types for the crust, such as shortbread or Oreo cookies. To add a different flavor, consider adding citrus zest to the filling or a fruit coulis on top.
