Finally i get a chance to use my homemade creamcheese to make this ultimate cheesecake. I am telling you, this is one the best ever cheesecake i ever made and enjoyed. It was so delicious. Loved it to the core. I made it today and every bit from the plate is over. It is that good.

This cheesecake is made with mascarpone cheese and cream cheese, both are made at home so it is even more delicious but a little time consuming. If you buy it from shops, then u can make this cheesecake in a matter of minutes. The orginal recipe calls for whipped cream as well. But i skipped it because i thought the mascarpone cheese will give the lightness the cheesecake want and also i added a little bit gelatin to make the cheesecake set in place.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
Preparation Time : 15 mins
Setting Time : 2 hours or overnight
Makes : 5 to 6 slices
Ingredients:
Cream Cheese - ½ cup (RECIPE HERE)

Gelatin - 1 tblspn
Cold Water - 3 tblspn
Digestive Biscuits - 10 to 12 biscuits

Strawberries sliced for topping
Method:
Take a 10 cm spring form pan, i used normal round pan and lined with some plastic wrap.
Take biscuits in a blender and powder it, take it in a bowl. Add in melted butter and mix well.
Spoon the biscuit filling in the tin and spread it out evenly with a spoon. Put this in freezer while you work on the filling.
Take gelatin in a saucepan, add in some cold water and soak it for 5 mins. Now heat it on low heat till the gelatin is melted. Set aside for a min.

Hi Aarthi
I tried making a Mascarpone Eggless Cheesecake with agar agar.The moment i started beatjng the mascarpone cheese on low speed it just curdled. Why? Because of that my entire cheesecake got spoilt and my cheesecake went waste 🙁
sunnygoa1
Is it because the cream cheese was having water content that it got curdled.

Hi Aarthi, Can I use marie biscuit instead of digestive biscuit? Also, can I used mixed dry berries? Also, I just have mascorpone cheese... Will this alone be sufficient or addition of cream cheese is necessary?
