For cheesecake
- 75g unsalted butter, melted
- 125g oreo biscuits, crushed
- 55g vanilla sugar*
- 200g cream cheese
- 250g ricotta cheese
- 55ml double cream
- 1 egg
- 3tsp Matcha powder
- 1 lemon zest
For blackberry coulis
- 150g blackberry
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla sugar ( You can use ordinary caster sugar. )
- 1/2 lemon juice
Directions
- First of all, line and grease your baking tin.
- Combine butter and the biscuits.
- Place them into the bottom of prepared tin and bake them in the preheated oven(180º) for about 10mins.
Once ready, remove and cool. - Meanwhile, beat sugar and cheese together. Gradually add your cream, egg, Matcha powder and lemon zest.
- Pour the mixture onto the biscuit base and bake them for about 40mins (200º) until the top is golden.
Let it cool for good couple of hours before you serve. - While that is cooking, make your coulis by placing blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in the saucepan.
Simmer over medium heat. When the blackberries start to turn gorgeously deep red, reserve some to serve in whole. And the rest will simmer away until syrupy. - Once ready, blend and pass it through the sieve with your spatula.
- Leave it to cool.When you are ready to serve this little beauty, assemble slice of cake with a little coulis and some whole blackberries.
* vanilla sugar
Just put some vanilla pods in your sugar bag, jar or tin.
I always keep the used pods (after making custard and stuff) and stick them in my sugar jar.
