Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 680 g (24 oz) cream cheese
- 300 g (10.5 oz) raspberries
- 250 g (8.8 oz) Lotus Biscoff or ginger nut biscuits
- 100 g (3.5 oz) unsalted butter
- 100 g (3.5 oz) icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 lemon
- Extra icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulse biscuits into fine crumbs and melt butter in an 11-inch ovenproof skillet over low heat. Mix crumbs with melted butter, pressing into an even layer with a slight edge. Bake the base for 5 minutes at 320°F (160°C).
- Filling Creation: Blend eggs, vanilla extract, and most of the powdered sugar in a food processor until pale and fluffy. Incorporate cream cheese and lemon juice, mixing until completely smooth and uniform.
- Raspberry Infusion: Crush half the raspberries with remaining powdered sugar to create a vibrant sauce. Gently swirl the raspberry mixture across the creamy cheese surface. Distribute whole raspberries evenly over the top.
- Baking and Browning: Return cheesecake to the oven, baking for 25 minutes. Switch to full grill setting, carefully monitoring until the surface achieves a golden, slightly caramelized appearance.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for a minimum of two hours to solidify texture and intensify flavors before serving.
Notes
- Crush Biscuits Perfectly: Pulse graham crackers or digestive biscuits until they transform into fine, uniform crumbs for a smooth, compact base.
- Control Butter Temperature: Melt butter gently over low heat to prevent burning and ensure even coating of biscuit crumbs.
- Blend Cream Cheese Smoothly: Beat eggs, cream cheese, and sugar until pale and fluffy, eliminating any lumps for a silky-smooth texture.
- Raspberry Swirl Technique: Create a vibrant raspberry sauce by mashing berries with sugar, then gently swirl across the cheesecake surface for a beautiful, marbled effect.
