Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham crackers or digestive biscuits (crushed)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 250 grams Fresh raspberries
- 50 grams Caster sugar
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 300 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers (or digestive biscuits) with the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the texture is like wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan or serving glasses to form the base. Use the back of a spoon to flatten and pack it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to set.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 150 grams of raspberries and the caster sugar. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes until the raspberries break down and form a sauce-like consistency. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Allow the raspberry sauce to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the biscuit base, then drizzle some of the raspberry sauce on top. Use a spoon or skewer to swirl it slightly.
Scatter half of the remaining fresh raspberries on top, pressing them gently into the cream layer.
Repeat with another layer of the cream mixture, raspberry sauce, and the remaining fresh raspberries as a decorative topping.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight to set completely.
Before serving, optionally decorate with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve chilled and enjoy!
