Base Layer
The crust is a shortcrust pastry made with all-purpose flour, almond flour, powdered sugar, butter, and a touch of salt. This creates a tender yet stable foundation with a light, nutty flavor that perfectly complements the creamy filling.
Cheesecake Filling
The smooth, velvety filling is made with premium Philadelphia cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, heavy cream, and a hint of vanilla paste. This combination ensures a rich, creamy texture and a delicate sweetness that melts in your mouth.
Berry Glaze
The topping consists of a glossy berry glaze made with a combination of fresh blackcurrant puree, fresh raspberry puree, sugar, and pectin. The pectin ensures the glaze sets perfectly, while the mix of berries adds a bright, slightly tart contrast to the sweet cheesecake filling.
Garnish
Fresh blueberries are carefully placed around the edge of the glaze, enhancing the visual appeal and adding a burst of natural fruitiness. A light crumble made from the crust ingredients adds texture and a touch of rustic charm.
Culinary Style
This cheesecake follows the modern European pâtisserie approach, which focuses on clean lines, balanced textures, and vibrant flavors. The silky smooth filling is juxtaposed with the crumbly almond base, while the glossy berry glaze introduces a fruity acidity that elevates the overall taste profile. Each component is crafted with precision, from the stable crust to the perfectly set berry glaze, ensuring the dessert is both visually striking and indulgently flavorful.
