Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g (7 oz) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 100g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • 400g (14 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 250ml (1 cup) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 100g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar, sifted
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 200g (7 oz) fresh blackberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Crush 200g digestive biscuits finely using a food processor or a rolling pin inside a sealed plastic bag.
  2. Mix the crumbs with 100g melted butter and 2 tbsp sugar until evenly combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the base of an 8-inch springform pan, creating an even layer.
  4. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 200g fresh blackberries with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp lime juice.
  6. Gently mash some berries to release their juices but leave most whole for texture. Set aside at room temperature to macerate.
  7. In a cold mixing bowl, beat 250ml heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  8. In a separate large bowl, beat 400g softened cream cheese with 100g powdered sugar, lime zest from 2 limes, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and juice of 1 lime until smooth and creamy.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep the airiness intact.
  10. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  11. Spoon the blackberry topping evenly over the cheesecake, letting some juice drizzle down the sides.
  12. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to set properly, ideally overnight.
  13. Run a knife around the edge of the springform pan before releasing the sides to prevent sticking.
  14. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for cleaner cuts.

Notes

If the filling feels too runny, add 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin dissolved in warm water before folding in the whipped cream. Avoid overwhipping cream and fold gently to keep the filling light and airy. Chill the cheesecake at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling.
