Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 125g Lotus biscuits
Filling
- 400g cream cheese
- 250g mascarpone
- 300g double cream (for whipped cream)
- 1 sachet cream stiffener
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 50g Lotus spread (cookie butter), slightly warmed
Topping
- 200g Lotus spread (cookie butter), warmed until pourable
- Decoration of your choice (e.g., extra Lotus biscuits, fresh fruit)
Instructions
- Prepare biscuit base: Pulse the Lotus biscuits in a food processor until they form fine crumbs. Press the crumbs into the base of a large baking dish or divide among 8–10 dessert glasses, making an even 1 cm thick layer.
- Whip cream: In a tall bowl, whip the double cream along with the cream stiffener until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream holds its shape for folding.
- Make cheese mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, blend together cream cheese, mascarpone, vanilla sugar, salt, and 50g of the warmed Lotus spread until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fold cream into cheese: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture carefully to maintain the airy texture without deflating it.
- Assemble cheesecake: Spread the combined filling evenly over the biscuit base layer and smooth the top using a spatula.
- Add topping: Warm the remaining Lotus spread until pourable and drizzle it over the cheesecake filling layer to add a glossy, flavorful finish.
- Decorate and chill: Garnish the cheesecake with extra Lotus biscuits, fresh fruit, or both as preferred. Chill the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator for several hours until firm and well set before serving.
Notes
- This is a no-bake cheesecake, so chilling time is essential for setting.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and mascarpone for easier mixing.
- Cream stiffener helps maintain whipped cream’s structure; substitute with gelatin if unavailable.
- Warming Lotus spread slightly makes it easier to incorporate and drizzle.
- Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
