Cheesecake with Red Berry Sauce

Ingredients – Crust:

200 g graham crackers (or plain sweet biscuits), crushed

100 g butter, melted

Ingredients – Filling:

400 g cream cheese, softened

1 can (about 395 g) sweetened condensed milk

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ingredients – Sauce:

1 cup red berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or mixed berries)

½ cup sugar

Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions:

Crush the biscuits and mix with the melted butter until you get a moist crumb mixture. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill in the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes to set the crust.

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the crust and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, or until set. Let it cool, then refrigerate.

For the sauce, combine the red berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Let it cool and spread over the cheesecake before serving.

A balanced dessert with a rich flavor and a texture that pleases on any occasion.
