Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Crust
- In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, using the back of a spoon to compact it evenly.
- Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to set.
Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Assemble the Cheesecake
- Spread the mascarpone filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set.
Serve
- Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Top with fresh berries or fruit compote and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled.
