Cheesecake with summer berries
6 servings
20 minutes
Summer berry cheesecake is the embodiment of lightness and freshness, the perfect treat for warm days. This dessert has roots in American cuisine and combines the tenderness of cream cheese and mascarpone, the airiness of whipped cream, and the sweetness of seasonal berries. The base made from biscuit cookies with butter gives it a pleasant texture, while gelatin ensures the stability and smoothness of the creamy mass. Summer berries not only decorate the cheesecake but also add a refreshing contrast of flavors. Historically, cheesecake has ancient Greek roots but its modern variation became popular in the USA in the early 20th century. This dessert is easy to prepare and is perfect for both festive gatherings and cozy evenings. Serve chilled and enjoy the harmony of flavors!
