Raspberry and Strawberry Ricotta Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 200 g (Arnotts) Marie biscuits
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 75 g butter, melted
- 250 g strawberries, sliced
- 150 g raspberries
- 2 teaspoon icing sugar (or mixture)
Raspberry ricotta filling
- 500 g cream cheese
- 300 g ricotta
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1/3 cup (80mL) milk
- 3 eggs
- 125 g raspberries
Method
- Grease a 20cm springform pan. Line base and side with baking paper.
- Process biscuits and caster sugar until fine. With motor operating, gradually add butter until well combined. Press biscuit mixture over base of tin using the back of a spoon. Place tin on an oven tray; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 150°C.
- Make raspberry ricotta filling: Process cream cheese, ricotta, sugar and milk until smooth. Add eggs; process until combined. Transfer mixture to a large bowl; fold in raspberries. Pour filling into pan.
- Bake cheesecake for 50 minutes or until cooked around the edge and slightly wobbly in the middle. Turn oven off; cool cheesecake in oven 1 hour with the door ajar. (The top of the cheesecake may crack slightly on cooling, but it will be covered with berries before serving.) Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until firm.
- Just before serving, top cheesecake with combined berries; dust with icing sugar.
