Blackberry and raspberry cheesecake to die for

Having foodie children means I am forever in the kitchen thinking and analysing meals and trying to remember what we had last night so I do not duplicate the same meal twice in one week. NO NO NO, I wouldn't be allowed to get away with such crime.

Today was Rocco's turn to decide my fate on dessert execution so he asked for a cheesecake. Phew, at least it's not Talya's complicated dishes some of which I have never heard of

So:
In went the 200g of crushed milk chocolate digestives
Added a tablespoon of caster sugar plus juice of half a lime
In went 50g of melted butter and I mixed the whole lot

Transfer the crushed biscuit mixture into a lined springform cake tin and chill for at least one hour.

Out came 300mls of double cream from the fridge, whip the cream to just about firm
250g mascarpone cheese plus 2tbs caster sugar and 1tsp vanilla extract, whisk these till nice and soft.
Mix cream and cheese together and later on top of the biscuit base

Get a punnet of whatever soft fruits you have in the fridge (I had raspberries and blackberries) and decorate the cake.
Reserve some of the fruit to make a coulis and drizzle on top of cake slices just before serving.

INGENIOUS
