🧁 Ingredients
For the crust:
- 200g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100g melted butter
For the filling:
- 400g cream cheese (room temperature)
- 100g powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250ml heavy cream (cold)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a slight tang)
Optional toppings:
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Fruit compote or jam
- Chocolate sauce or caramel drizzle
🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the crust
Start by crushing the biscuits into fine crumbs. You can do this using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and pour in the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan (about 20–22 cm). Use the back of a spoon or a flat glass to smooth and compact the crust evenly.
Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
