Servings: persons

8 ounces chocolate dipped cookie or graham crackers
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar + 3 tbsp
1/4 ounce powdered gelatin envelope
2 1/8 cups cream cheese
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup cherry juice
1/2 lemon zest and juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water to make a paste
1 pound mixed berries strawberries hulled and quartered

1
For the crust, grease a 9 1/2 inch spring form pan with oil. Place the cookies or graham crackers in a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. Melt the butter and stir in the crumbs and the 3 tbsp of the sugar. Spoon into the bottom of the pan and press down with the back of a spoon. Chill for 30 mins.
2
Prepare gelatin according to package instructions and place in a saucepan and over a very low heat, melt slowly. Do not let the mixture boil. Set aside to cool slightly.
3
Mix the cream cheese with 1/3 cup of the sugar. Stir in the gelatin. Beat the cream until stiff peaks form and stir in the cream cheese mixture. Spoon on top of the crust and level the surface. Chill for at least 3 hours.
4
Add the cherry juice, 1/4 cup water, the lemon juice, zest and remaining sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the vanilla extract and cornstarch paste. Simmer for 1 minute until thickened. Stir in the berries, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
5
Remove the cheesecake from the pan. Top with the berry compote just before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
