Ingredients

Digestive Biscuits: These plain, slightly sweet biscuits are commonly used as a base for cheesecakes and pies. Their crumbly texture and buttery flavor add a delicious contrast to the creamy filling of the cheesecake.

Butter: Butter is used to bind the digestive biscuits together to form the base of the cheesecake. Its rich, creamy flavor adds depth to the dessert.

Cream Cheese: Cream cheese serves as the main component of the filling, giving the cheesecake its creamy and tangy taste. It also helps to thicken the mixture and hold the other ingredients together.

Double Cream: Double cream, with its high fat content, adds richness and a smooth texture to the cheesecake filling. It helps to create a luscious consistency that melts in the mouth.

Caster Sugar: Caster sugar is used to sweeten the cheesecake filling. Its fine texture ensures that it dissolves easily into the mixture, helping to create a smooth and creamy dessert.

Eggs: Eggs are added to the cheesecake filling to bind the ingredients together and provide structure. They also contribute to the smooth and silky texture of the finished dessert.

Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the cheesecake, giving it a warm and aromatic taste. It adds a hint of sweetness and depth to the overall dessert.

Fresh Raspberries: Fresh raspberries are used to create the raspberry ripple effect in the cheesecake. Their tartness and vibrant color provide a refreshing contrast to the creamy filling, making each bite a burst of fruity flavor.

Icing Sugar: Icing sugar is used as a topping for the cheesecake, adding a sweet and decorative finishing touch to the dessert. Its fine texture creates a light dusting that enhances the visual appeal of the dish.
