I’d give everything to have some cheesecake right now. The modest cheesecake, the king of sweetness and texture, comes in a variety of flavours and embellishments. This mixed berry cheesecake mixes traditional textures with an out-of-this-world mixed berry syrup topping. The thick and creamy baked cream cheese filling melts in your lips, while the sweet berry combination provides colour and flavour that is memorable.
Mixed berry cheesecake suggestions
You know how to create the greatest crust if you’ve ever cooked a pie or tart in South Africa. Tennis Biscuits are buttery with a coconut punch, and they form the greatest crumb crust. You may also soak the berries in sugar for a day, but boiling them with honey would enough. You may choose your favourite berry combination, but we guarantee it will be wonderful regardless of what you use.
When it comes to weekend festivities, your meal should be topped off with a delicious dessert. Be astonished by this mixed berry cheesecake.

- Press the biscuits in the springform cake tin to cover the bottom and the sides about 3 cm up.
- Place all ingredients for the cheesecake filling in a mixing bowl and mix with an electric mixer for 5 minutes until smooth.
- Add into the prepared springform pan and place in the oven for 55 minutes.
- When cooked, remove from oven and cover with a cloth or net. It will settle as it cools.
