Method

  1. 1

    Start preparing the cheesecake by whipping the softened butter and sugar. Add the egg and the flour-baking powder mixture. Mix until smooth.

  2. 2

    Line a Ø 24 cm springform pan with parchment paper. Press the cake dough with floured hands onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan to a height of about 5 cm. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

  3. 3

    Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, until it is smooth and fluffy. Pour the filling onto the dough crust.

  4. 4

    Bake the cheesecake at 175 degrees on the lowest rack of the oven until done, 50 - 60 min. Cover the cake with parchment paper halfway through baking so the surface doesn't brown too much. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Carefully remove the cold cake from the pan.

  5. 5

    Purée the berries and press the purée through a sieve. Season with sugar, and adjust to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve the cheesecake with the berry sauce.
