Raspberry cheese cake

The raspberry cheese cake suits perfectly your
coffee table.

I baked my first cheese cake ever in 2015 and since then I have learned what works and what does not work. I now know for instance that fruits like kiwi, mango and pineapple breaks the structure of gelatine. This I learned in a hard way when my kiwi cheese cake just fell apart in front of my eyes.

This recipe is for raspberry lovers and in the wait of summer it is a good choice.

Base:
225 g Digestive biscuits or oat biscuits
100 g butter

Filling:
25 g raspberry gele powder
2,5 dl boiling water
3 dl sour cream
200 g Philadelphia cream cheese (natural)
1,5 dl powder sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
3 dl cream

Topping:
0,5 dl boiling water
2 dl raspberry coulis
4 gelatine sheets
fresh raspberries

Crush the biscuits and mix with melted butter. Place the biscuit base on a cake pan with removable bottom. Put the cake pan in a fridge.

Cook 2,5 dl water and mix the raspberry gele powder. Mix well and let it cool down.
Mix sour cream, cream cheese, powder sugar and vanilla sugar well together. Whip the cream until it is firm. Mix the cheese mix together with whipped cream. Pour carefully the cooled raspberry gele while mixing the filling all the time.

Pour the filling on top of the base and let it be in the fridge around 5 hours.

Put the gelatine sheets in cold water for 5 minutes. Rinse the sheets well and put them in boiling water, mix well. Prepare raspberry coulis by cooking 2 dl water and 1,5 dl sugar until the sugar disolves. Cool down the sugar water and add around 400 g fresh raspberries (don't use frozen berries). Mix well with a hand mixer. Pour the raspberries through a sieve (you may use a spoon to push it through) so that all the seeds are left in the sieve and only smooth raspberry coulis is left. Add the raspberry coulis to the gelatine and mix well. Pour the mix on the top of the cake. The gelatine will congeal in couple of hours.

Use a spoon to push the coulis through the sieve.

Let the cheese cake to be in a fridge over night
for the best result.

Remove the cheese cake from the cake pan. You may need to use a knife to the sides when removing the cake from the cake pan. Decorate with fresh raspberries.

Decorate for instance with raspberries and
mint leaves.
