Ina’s Tip

Do not turn out and decorate this dessert too early. The freshness of the presentation is a big part of its appeal.

Method:

Line the base of an 23 cm x 13 cm x 6,5 cm deep loaf pan with baking paper.

Spray the paper and the sides of the pan with a non-stick spray. Measure cold tap water into a medium size mixing bowl. Sprinkle the contents of cheesecake pack over the water and beat until well blended.

Slowly beat in the cottage cheese. In a smaller mixing bowl whip the cream until firm. Add the whipped cream to the cheesecake mixture and fold it in with a spatula.

Spread ¼ of the cheesecake mix over the base of the pan.

Dip the biscuits one by one in the sherry and lay them in the pan.

Top with another ¼ of the Cheesecake mix and a layer of strawberries and raspberries.

Reserve blueberries and a few extra strawberries and raspberries for decorating. Repeat, ending with a biscuit layer.

Cover pan with clingfilm and refrigerate overnight. Before serving turn out on a platter and finish with berry topping.

Topping

Top cheesecake with remaining berries and drizzle with honey. Add strawberry or mint leaves for a touch of green. Dust lightly with icing sugar.
