How to Make Raspberry And Whisky Cheesecake

  1. Crush 200g digestive biscuits. Melt 50g butter in a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp whisky. Add crushed biscuits, mix well, and press into a greased 8-inch loose-bottomed cake tin. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Beat 250g cream cheese with 100g caster sugar until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip 200ml double cream with 1 tbsp whisky until softly peaked. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Refrigerate.
  5. Gently toss 250g fresh raspberries with 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp whisky. Macerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Strain the raspberries, reserving approximately 100ml of juice. Add more whisky if needed to reach 100ml.
  7. Mix 2 tablespoons of reserved raspberry juice with 1 tsp arrowroot powder to create a paste.
  8. Heat the remaining raspberry juice (8 tablespoons) with 50g caster sugar until almost boiling. Stir in the arrowroot paste until the glaze thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  9. Stir in the macerated raspberries and let cool completely.
  10. Spread the raspberry glaze evenly over the cheesecake.
  11. Whip 150ml double cream with 1 tbsp whisky until softly peaked. Decorate the cheesecake with whipped cream.
  12. Drizzle 1 tbsp malt whisky over the top just before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
