The Best Dessert on the Planet {White Chocolate and Berry Cheesecake}

red berry and white chocolate cheesecake

I have this habit of inviting people round for dinner, but instead of choosing a foolproof recipe that I know works, I search around on the internet for something new and exciting to wow them with. This doesn’t always turn out well, especially when I then decide to go off piste, substituting ingredients for ones that I prefer; not to mention leaving some out simply due to lack of focus at the supermarket.

This was the background to my latest discovery – the white chocolate and berry cheesecake. You’ll be pleased to hear however, that it turned out to be a triumph and so easy to make! I only ever share the best recipes on here, ones that even a novice can make, so I promise that you can do it, whatever your ability.

The original recipe had amaretti biscuits for the base but as I hate the taste, I substituted them for the traditional digestive biscuit mixture and it worked really well. Let me know if you have a go; always love to receive your comments. Good luck!

  • This sounds really good! I am terrible at all cooking, but I reckon even I might manage this. And who wouldn’t want digestive biscuits for their cheesecake base?!

      I love a cheesecake but it isn’t cheesecake without digestive biscuits is it? Made it again yesterday and super easy. x

    Oh wow!! Yes, this does indeed look like the best dessert ever, I’ll have to try it. I’m loving anything with fresh fruit in it at the moment, it’s great being able to use fruit that is in season.
