Use quality creamy cheese
Opt for a creamy cream cheese (here, you will need 600g) of the Philadelphia type (or similar), which will be easy to work with and will give good consistency to your cake. Moreover, make sure that your cheese is at room temperature before you begin, this will save you from lumps in the preparation.
Choosing the right biscuits for the base
Regarding the biscuits (here, you will need 250g), it is preferable to choose varieties rich in butter, which will remain sandy after baking and will offer a beautiful golden color to the base of the cheesecake. Also make sure not to compact the mixture of biscuits and butter (here, you will need 100g) too much in the mold, this will facilitate the cutting of the cake and give a more airy result.

The perfect marriage with red fruits
The combination of the slightly tart taste of red fruits with the softness of cheese allows us to create a perfect taste balance. The red fruits bring freshness and lightness to this dessert and can be used in different forms:
Fresh Red Fruits
If you have access to good fresh red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants…), don’t hesitate to take advantage of them to make your coulis or simply incorporate them into the preparation of the cheesecake. They will add a crunchy and fragrant touch to your dessert.
Frozen Red Fruits
Frozen red fruits are a good alternative when the fruit is not in season. Before using them, remember to thoroughly defrost them to prevent the water they contain from making your cheesecake soggy. You can also use these frozen fruits to make a flavorful coulis.
As for fruits, whether they are fresh or frozen, you will need 400g.
How to make a red fruit coulis?
The red fruit coulis is the key element that enhances a cheesecake. It brings color and accentuates its fruity flavor. Here’s how to easily make your coulis:
- Put the red fruits of your choice (fresh or frozen) in a pot with some sugar (around 50 g for 300 g of fruits). Add the juice of half a lemon to enhance the tart taste.
- Let it simmer over low heat for about ten minutes, stirring regularly so that the fruit releases its juice.
- Then pass the whole through a sieve to remove the seeds and obtain a smooth coulis. Chill before use.
