How to make Tarta asada de queso fresco y moras (Blackberry cheesecake)
Serves 6
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
Butter, for greasing
300g cream cheese
3 eggs
200ml double cream
200g caster sugar
100g blackberries
20g icing sugar (optional)
Method
You can make this blackberry cheesecake using pretty much any soft cheese.
Cream cheese, cottage cheese, quark or curd will all give great results.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4 and lightly grease a 20 cm cake tin with a little butter.
Put the cream cheese, eggs, cream and sugar into a bowl and use an electric whisk or hand blender to mix together for no longer than 40 seconds.
Tip the mixture into your prepared dish and spread the blackberries on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
