Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled biscuit base, spreading it evenly.
Layer the mixed berries over the cheesecake filling, distributing them evenly.
Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture on top of the berries, smoothing out the surface.
Step 5: Make the Crumble Topping
In a separate bowl, mix together the plain flour, sugar, and melted butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.
Step 6: Bake the Cheesecake
Place the assembled cheesecake in the oven and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes, or until it’s set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Step 7: Chill
After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
Step 8: Serve
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Slice into portions and serve chilled, optionally garnishing with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Presentation Tips
To elevate the presentation:
Garnish each slice with fresh mint leaves or a dollop of whipped cream.
Drizzle with a berry coulis made from pureed berries for added color and flavor.
Use a cake stand or decorative plate to serve the cheesecake, emphasizing its beautiful layers and crumble topping.
Enjoy your delicious Berry Crumble Cheesecake, a perfect dessert that’s sure to impress at any gathering!
