Ingredients

  • ½ cup crushed ladyfingers
  • ¼ cup Tnuva Butter melted
  • Pinch of salt
  • Tnuva Butter to grease the pan
  • 2 ½ cups Tnuva Original Cheese Spread
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • Zest from ½ lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup white chocolate
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berry concentrate or syrup
  • 1 handful meringue cookies

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a round baking pan with butter.
  • In a bowl, mix together the cookie crumbs, butter and salt. Pack the batter into the bottom of the baking pan until it forms a solid crust. Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Cool.
  • In a food processor, combine the cheese spread until it smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, corn starch, lemon zest and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and slowly fold into the cheese mixture until totally smooth.
  • Reduce the oven to 200°F.
  • After the crust has fully cooled, gently pour the cheese batter atop. Place onto the middle tray of the oven. Bake for about 1 ½ hours until the cake stands but is still wet. Turn off the oven.
  • Remove the cake from the oven. Using a sharp knife, separate the edges of the cake from the pan. Place the cake back into the oven and let it cook until fully cool.
  • Once the cake is at room temperature, remove from the pan and refrigerate. Do not worry if the cake begins to crack as the glaze will cover it.
  • The glaze, melt the white chocolate into the whipping cream. Carefully glaze the cake and let the glaze set. Decorate with the berry syrup and sprinkle with meringue cookies. Enjoy!
