Mixed Berry Cheesecake (with photo)

[farfallina]

I prepared this cheesecake for my birthday

Ingredients:

Base
200g Petit Beurre, Leibniz-Keks or Graham biscuits
100g butter, roughly chopped

Cheese mixture:
200g ricotta
250g mascarpone
80g Philadelphia
120g sugar
2 eggs
15g flour
1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 bag of vanillin sugar

Top:
2-3 tbsps strawberry marmalade (use a delicious one)
400g frozen mixed berries

Home made jelly:
150g water
40g fresh lemon juice
10g corn starch
100g sugar

Preparation:

    Grease a 24cm diameter springform cake tin and cover with baking paper.
    Melt butter for 3-4 minutes at 60ºC on Speed 1-2.
    Add biscuits and polverize for 7 seconds on Speed 6-7.
    Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Keep in the freezer for 30 minutes.

    Place ricotta, mascarpone, Philadelphia and sugar in TM Bowl. Mix for 1 minute on Speed 3-4 and then again for 1 minute on Speed 4-5.

    Add eggs, flour and vanilla. Mix for 30 seconds on Speed 5.
    Spread cheese mixture with a spoon or a spatula smoothly over the base.

    Bake in preheated oven at 170ºC for 35-40 minutes
    Turn off the oven. Let it cool in the oven for a couple of hours.
    Refrigerate it.

Top:

    Thaw berries as indicated on the package. (Due to the indications this can be done also using a microwave however I don't like them thawed that way. So I put them in the fridge inside their plastic bag for 4 hours before use)

    Spread marmalade over cheesecake.
    Spread evenly the thawed berries.

    Place all jelly ingredients in TM Bowl and cook for 12 minutes at 90ºC on Speed 3. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
    Pour jelly evenly on the fruits.

    Refrigerate overnight.


Enjoy...


The cheesecake was so delicious!
Let me note here, our home made jelly is not gonna be very firm, I prepared it mostly to give a shiny look, sweeten and enhance the taste of the berrys.
