Raspberry and Whisky Cheesecake image

Here's a simple cheesecake that uses two ingredients for which Scotland is well known - whisky (of course) and raspberries. Two thirds of the raspberries grown in Britain come from Scotland, many of them from Blairgowrie. Instead of raspberries, you can use other soft fruit such as blackcurrants or loganberries. The quantities below should provide six portions of cheesecake.

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 drunken cheesecake, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ounces butter
8 ounces digestive biscuits (also known as Graham crackers in some parts of the world)
1 tablespoon Scotch whisky
8 ounces cream cheese
2 ounces caster sugar (granulated sugar in North America)
10 fluid ounces double cream
1 tablespoon Scotch whisky
8 ounces raspberries
2 tablespoons honey
3 fluid ounces Scotch whisky
3 teaspoons arrowroot
1 teaspoon caster sugar (superfine sugar in North America)
5 fluid ounces whipping cream
1 tablespoon Scotch whisky

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a non-stick pan, add the tablespoon of whisky, crush the digestive biscuits (Graham crackers) and add to the pan.
  • Mix well and then press into a greased, loose-bottomed 8-inch cake tin and chill for about half an hour in the refrigerator.
  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar together.
  • Whip the double cream and whisky until softly stiff and fold into the cream mixture.
  • Spread over the biscuit base and chill.
  • Soak the raspberries in the honey and whisky for about 30 minutes.
  • Strain the raspberries.
  • You will need about 4 fluid ounces of juice and you may have to top it up with whisky if necessary.
  • Take two ounces of juice and the arrowroot and mix to form a paste.
  • Heat the rest of the juice with the sugar until almost boiling and then stir in the arrowroot paste and continue stirring over a low heat until the glaze is thick.
  • Then stir the raspberries into the glaze and leave until cool.
  • Spread the raspberries and glaze over the base.
  • Whip the cream mixed with a tablespoon of whisky until softly stiff and then decorate the cheesecake.
  • Finally, sprinkle a tablespoon of malt whisky over the top just before serving.

I was disappointed with this cheesecake. The crust was soggy and the filling was too dense. I think I might have over-mixed the batter.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The texture was great and the flavor was good, but I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of whisky, but I really enjoyed the flavor of this cheesecake. The whisky was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors. I will definitely be making this again.
