Ingredients
Method
- Combine crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter in a medium mixing bowl.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan using the back of a spoon.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
- Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler until completely smooth and allow it to cool slightly.
- Whip the cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
- Fold the cooled melted white chocolate into the beaten cream cheese until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture until the mousse is light and combined.
- Spread half of the mousse mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- Drop generous spoonfuls of cranberry jam onto the mousse and swirl gently with a knife.
- Add the remaining mousse mixture on top and smooth the surface with an offset spatula.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 5 hours, or until set firm, before slicing.
Notes
Ensure your white chocolate has cooled slightly before folding into the cream cheese to prevent the mousse from becoming lumpy. If you prefer a stronger cranberry flavor, feel free to add an extra layer of jam on top after the cheesecake has set. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve for the best texture.
