Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 3 large eggs
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dried blackberries, finely ground
Garnish and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Crush chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter, sugar, and ground dried blackberries into a fine, compact mixture.
- Transfer the crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, pressing firmly to create an even, solid base.
- Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to ensure a sturdy foundation.
- Gently melt white chocolate chips with heavy cream over low heat, stirring until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Allow the white chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then incorporate softened cream cheese until creating a smooth, luxurious texture.
- Spread the white chocolate cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust, then return to refrigerator for 1 hour until completely set.
- Blend fresh blackberries with sugar and lemon juice, then strain to eliminate seeds and create a pure, vibrant puree.
- Warm the blackberry puree and dissolve gelatin into the mixture, then cool to room temperature.
- Delicately fold whipped cream into the blackberry puree, creating a light, airy mousse.
- Pour the blackberry mousse over the white chocolate layer and refrigerate for 4 hours until fully stabilized.
- Combine fresh blackberries with blackberry jam, spreading across the mousse surface.
- Finish by piping elegant whipped cream dollops around the edges and scattering additional fresh blackberries as a final garnish.
Notes
- Swap cookie crumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or gluten-free graham crackers for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Freeze dried blackberries add intense flavor and crunch to the crust, enhancing the overall texture and taste profile.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and prevent lumpy cheesecake layers.
- Stabilize whipped cream by adding a teaspoon of powdered sugar and gelatin to maintain its structure longer and prevent weeping.
