| Cream cheese (Philadelphia) | 170g |
| Heavy cream (liquid) | 200ml |
| Ricotta cheese | 250g |
| Blueberry jam | 6 tbsp |
| Sugar | 1 tbsp |
| Gelatin sheets | 8g |

| Digestive biscuits (crushed) | 300g |

| Fresh strawberries | 175g |
| Fresh cherries | 175g |
| Gelatin sheets | 5g |
| Sugar | 1 tbsp |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Biscuit Crust: Start by finely crushing the digestive biscuits in a food processor or by hand, ensuring they’re well-ground. Once crushed, incorporate the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs. Mix until the texture is consistent and crumbly.
-
Set the Crust: Transfer the mixture into a cake pan, pressing it firmly into the base to form an even layer. Place it in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes to set and harden.
-
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and cream cheese (Philadelphia). Stir them together until smooth and well incorporated. Add the blueberry jam and mix thoroughly to infuse the flavors into the creamy base.
-
Dissolve the Gelatin: In a small saucepan, heat a few tablespoons of the heavy cream and dissolve the gelatin sheets in it. Once the gelatin has dissolved completely, allow it to cool slightly, then add it to the cheese mixture, stirring to combine.
-
Whip the Remaining Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate it.
-
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the creamy filling over the chilled biscuit crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
-
Chill: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and allow it to set for approximately one hour. This will help the filling firm up to a creamy, luscious texture.
-
Prepare the Topping: While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare the fruits. Slice the strawberries and cherries into halves or quarters, depending on your preference. These fresh fruits will add a vibrant touch to your dessert.
-
Decorate and Serve: Once the cheesecake has set, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Top with fresh strawberries, cherries, and edible flowers for a delicate and fragrant presentation.
