Trifle cheesecake
Trifle cheesecake
This amazing cheesecake has all the flavors of a traditional English trifle but in the form of a cheesecake. So a trifle cheesecake.
To make it, this time I used bastogne biscuits as the bottom of the cheesecake. You press this firmly into the mold. Don’t make the layer too thin because that will soon be the basis of your cheesecake.
Custard
As an extra, this is with custard that you stir through the cheesecake mixture. To do this, first make the custard according to the instructions below in the recipe. Then let it cool down and then mix it well with the cream cheese.
Make the jelly layer on top with berry juice and gelatin. Check if it is sweet enough. There is often a difference.
Sprinkle with blueberries
After making the jelly layer for the trifle cheesecake, you can do two things. You can sprinkle the berries right on top like I did here. They are then immediately stuck in the jelly when it has set. That is an option. Another option is to add the berries later with whipped cream.
The trifle cheesecake is already quite powerful so that whipped cream does not necessarily have to be used. Incidentally, you can of course also make the jelly layer with any other fruit.
Jelly coating
For example, you can puree strawberries or raspberries and then strain so that all seeds are removed. You can then use this as a layer. You also immediately vary the colors with this. Either way, it’s a delicious cheesecake and perfect for the holidays.
