How to make Tarta asada de queso fresco y moras (Blackberry cheesecake)

Serves 6

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Butter, for greasing

300g cream cheese

3 eggs

200ml double cream

200g caster sugar

100g blackberries

20g icing sugar (optional)

Method

You can make this blackberry cheesecake using pretty much any soft cheese.

Cream cheese, cottage cheese, quark or curd will all give great results.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4 and lightly grease a 20 cm cake tin with a little butter.

Put the cream cheese, eggs, cream and sugar into a bowl and use an electric whisk or hand blender to mix together for no longer than 40 seconds.

Tip the mixture into your prepared dish and spread the blackberries on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
