Creamy Forest Fruit Cheesecake
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter/margarine
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon sour cream (if needed)
- For the cream:
- 2 cups milk
- 2 packets vanilla pudding
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 and 1/3 cups sour cream
- Additional:
- 4 cups forest fruits or any fruit you like - fresh, frozen, or canned (except strawberries, I only use fresh ones for this cake)
- 1 packet red cake glaze (if using peaches, use light glaze)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour with baking powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, softened butter, and egg until combined (if dry, add a tablespoon of sour cream). No need to refrigerate.
- Roll out the dough on parchment paper.
- Transfer it to a 10-inch greased and floured baking pan, carefully placing the dough. If it cracks, it's easy to fix with your fingers. Trim any excess dough that hangs over the edge of the pan.
- Dissolve the pudding in a bit of milk, then heat the rest of the milk with sugar.
- Once the milk boils, add the prepared pudding and cook over medium heat until thickened.
- Remove from heat, add sour cream, and mix well to combine.
- Pour the cream immediately into the prepared pan with the crust.
- Arrange the fruit over the cream. If using berries, just spread them out; if using peaches, slice them.
- Bake everything in a preheated oven at 340°F for 1 hour.
- Let it cool at room temperature, then prepare the glaze according to the package instructions and pour it over the fruit.
- Leave the cake in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, carefully run a knife around the cake and remove the sides of the pan.
