INGREDIENTS:
- Marie Biscuit - 120 g
- Melted Butter -
- Agar Agar - 10 g
- Water - 1/3 cup
- Whipping Cream - 300 ml
- Cream Cheese - 200 ml
- Powdered Sugar - 1/3 cup
- Condensed Milk - 200 ml
- Hazelnuts - 3 tbsp
- Dried Blueberries - 3 tbsp soaked
- Rasgulla - 25
RECIPE STEPS:
- Start by taking the biscuits and crush them until they resemble bread crumbs. Slowly pour in the melted butter and mix until it feels like wet sand.
- Transfer the biscuit and butter mix to a 9" Spring Form Cake Tin and press down using a glass until its flat and smooth. Refrigerate.
- Soak the agar agar in 1/3 cup of water for 15 minutes.
- Whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks.
- In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and powder sugar. Whip it well until creamy and smooth.
- Take a pan and heat it up in low flame, add the soaked agar agar and cook it until it is well dissolved and no traces are seen.
- Warm the condensed milk in a pan, Once the agar is dissolved, add the agar mix to the hot condensed milk. Stir well and cook for 2 mins. Let it cool down a little bit.
- Once the condensed milk+agar mix is hot but not boiling, pour it over the cream cheese mix and whisk well. You can sieve the condensed milk mix into the cream cheese mix rather than just pouring, but its optional.
- Add the berries and hazelnuts and mix well. You can also add a little bit of the soaked berry water for more flavor and color.
- Now add the whipped cream and rasgullas. Fold it well, do not mix it vigorously.
- Add the cheesecake mix to the cake tin and spread it well. Refrigerate overnight or for 10-12 hours and serve.
- For Serving, Run a small knife over the edge of the cake tin to seperate the cake from the tin. And open the tin. Decorate as you wish and enjoy!
RECIPE NOTES :
I decorated the cake with soaked berries, whipped cream, rasgullas, hazelnuts, blueberry syrup and a sprig of mint. For the blueberry syrup, i did a cheat by add 2 tsp of sugar to the blueberry water(the one we had soaked berries in) and reduced it by cooking till it was thick and used it after it cooled.
