Cheesecake with currant jam is an exquisite combination of creamy cheese layer and the tart taste of black currants. This dessert originates from American cuisine but has variations popular worldwide. White chocolate adds tenderness to the filling, while lemon zest provides a subtle citrus freshness. The crunchy cookie base contrasts with the silky texture of the cheesecake, and the jam patterns make each slice unique. This dessert is perfect for a cozy home tea time or festive treat. Serve it chilled to fully reveal the rich palette of flavors, complemented by almond flakes that add a crunchy note. Enjoy this harmonious and elegant delicacy!
