Raspberry & White Chocolate Cheesecake Bars
Equipment
- Zip-lock bag
- Rolling pin
- Large saucepan
- Spoon
- Large bowl
- Heatproof bowl
- Parchment paper
- 20cm square baking tin
- Electric hand mixer
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 200 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 400 g white chocolate good quality
- 250 g cream cheese full fat
- 200 ml double cream
- 250 g mascarpone cheese
- 250 g raspberries half mashed to a purée, half full
Instructions
- Bash the biscuits in a resealable bag with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan then add the biscuit crumbs and mix to combine.
- Tip the butter and biscuit mix into the base of a lined 20cm/8” cake tin. Pack in the biscuit mix with a spoon. Place in the fridge while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water, and gently melt, without stirring. You can tell it is melted when you gently nudge a square and it will dissolve. Only then stir together and set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese, cream and mascarpone in a large bowl with an electric hand whisk, then, with a spatula, stir through the white chocolate and pour over the biscuit base in the tin.
- Mash half the raspberries with the back of a fork until puréed. Dollop the puréed raspberries over the top of the cheesecake and using a spoon, swirl the raspberries into the cream mix. Dot in the remaining whole raspberries, lightly pushing them into the mix. Cover and place in the fridge to chill and set for at least 2 or 3 hours.
- Remove the cheesecake from the tin and cut into bars then serve.
Notes
I guarantee you these cheesecake bars will be your go-to Summer dessert this year. They are no bake, take minimal fuss and are a riff off a recipe I’ve been making for years due to the oohs and aahs they almost always garner.
