Cheesecake with bread
6 servings
60 minutes
Cheesecake with crispbread is an original Australian dessert that combines a crunchy base of Finn Crisp with a creamy mascarpone and Philadelphia filling. Its flavor balances between the sweetness of powdered sugar and the refreshing tartness of lemon, complemented by the warmth of cinnamon and a hint of vanilla. The dish's origins trace back to Australia's culinary traditions, where cheesecake adapted to local preferences, gaining a crispy texture. When properly chilled, its taste unfolds in all its depth, making it an ideal conclusion to a meal. This cheesecake pairs harmoniously with berries or a cup of fragrant tea.

I recommend placing the cheesecake in the fridge overnight after preparation — it will help enhance its flavor.
