- 0:00Speaker 1: Light berry cheesecake is a fresh, no-bake dessert with a
- 0:03Speaker 1: crunchy whole-grain cookie and almond butter base, a light cream
- 0:07Speaker 1: cheese and Greek yogurt filling, and a colorful mixed berry topping.
- 0:11Speaker 1: It suits an end-of-meal or a special occasion, and it
- 0:14Speaker 1: rests in the refrigerator instead of baking in the oven.
- 0:18Speaker 1: For about six servings, total active preparation time is about
- 0:22Speaker 1: 30 minutes, plus five minutes cooking for the milk and gelatin,
- 0:26Speaker 1: and at least three hours resting in the refrigerator. You
- 0:30Speaker 1: need these ingredients. For the base, dry whole wheat cookies,
- 0:35Speaker 1: low in sugar, 150 grams. Almond butter, 100 grams. For
- 0:41Speaker 1: the cream, spreadable light fresh cheese, 400 grams. Date paste,
- 0:47Speaker 1: 70 grams. Greek yogurt, 100 grams. Gelatin in sheets, 12 grams.
- 0:56Speaker 1: One vanilla bean. Whole milk, 100 grams. For garnish, raspberries,
- 1:03Speaker 1: 70 grams. Blackberries, 70 grams. Blueberries, 70 grams. Start with
- 1:11Speaker 1: the base. Break the dry whole wheat cookies into pieces
- 1:15Speaker 1: and place them in a food processor. Blend until the
- 1:19Speaker 1: cookies reach a sandy, crumb-like texture. Transfer the crumbs into
- 1:23Speaker 1: a bowl. Add the almond butter. Mix with a spoon
- 1:28Speaker 1: until the crumbs and almond butter combine evenly. Prepare an
- 1:32Speaker 1: 18-centimeter or 7-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Pour the cookie and almond mixture into the pan. Press
- 1:43Speaker 1: the mixture down with the back of a spoon until
- 1:45Speaker 1: it forms a compact, even layer over the entire base.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the base
- 1:52Speaker 1: rest for 30 minutes. While the base rests, prepare the cream.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl with cold water
- 2:00Speaker 1: and let them soak. In another bowl, add the Greek
- 2:04Speaker 1: yogurt and the spreadable light fresh cheese. Whisk them together
- 2:08Speaker 1: until they combine. Add the date paste. Whisk again until
- 2:14Speaker 1: the mixture becomes smooth and uniform. Pour the whole milk
- 2:18Speaker 1: into a small saucepan. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise. Scrape
- 2:23Speaker 1: out the seeds and add the seeds to the milk.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Heat the milk gently until it is hot, then remove
- 2:29Speaker 1: the saucepan from the heat. Take the gelatin sheets out
- 2:33Speaker 1: of the cold water and squeeze them well. Add the
- 2:37Speaker 1: squeezed gelatin to the hot milk with vanilla seeds. Stir
- 2:41Speaker 1: until the gelatin dissolves completely in the milk. Pour the
- 2:45Speaker 1: hot milk with dissolved gelatin into the bowl with the yogurt, cheese,
- 2:49Speaker 1: and date paste mixture. Whisk carefully until the cream becomes
- 2:53Speaker 1: smooth and homogeneous. Take the springform pan with the cookie
- 2:57Speaker 1: base out of the refrigerator. Pour the cream over the base.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Spread it and smooth the surface with a spatula or
- 3:05Speaker 1: the back of a spoon so it is level. Place
- 3:08Speaker 1: the cheesecake in the refrigerator. Let it rest for about
- 3:12Speaker 1: 2 hours until the cream sets and becomes firm. After
- 3:17Speaker 1: the resting time, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator. Open
- 3:21Speaker 1: the springform ring and gently unmold the cake. Place it
- 3:25Speaker 1: on a serving plate. Prepare the berries for decoration, raspberries, blackberries,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and blueberries. Arrange the berries on the surface of the cheesecake,
- 3:35Speaker 1: starting from the outer edge. Alternate raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries,
- 3:41Speaker 1: and form a wreath shape all around the edge. Place
- 3:44Speaker 1: the decorated cheesecake back in the refrigerator. Let it chill
- 3:49Speaker 1: for another 30 minutes before serving, so the flavors settle
- 3:52Speaker 1: and the cream remains firm when you slice it. You
- 3:56Speaker 1: serve the light berry cheesecake while chilled. You keep any
- 4:00Speaker 1: leftovers in the refrigerator and consume them within a couple
- 4:03Speaker 1: of days.
