Ingredients
- 200g digestive biscuits, crushed
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 250g cream cheese, softened
- 200ml heavy cream
- 100g powdered sugar
- 100g black sesame paste (or ground black sesame seeds)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (optional, for added firmness)
- 2 tablespoons hot water (if using gelatin)
- Black sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Then, add the black sesame paste and vanilla extract, mixing well until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Optional Gelatin Step: If you want a firmer cheesecake, dissolve the gelatin in hot water and let it cool slightly before folding it into the filling mixture.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit crust and spread it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with black sesame seeds before slicing and serving.
