Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- Crush the digestive cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place the cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Melt the butter.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter.
- Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact the crust.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and mascarpone cheese. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed to beat them together until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture while continuing to mix on low speed.
- If you prefer a sweeter cheesecake, you can add powdered sugar to taste at this stage. Mix until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Put it aside.
- Dissolve the gelatin according to the instructions on the package.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into the cream cheese while mixing and fold in the whipped cream.
Assembling the Cheesecake:
- Take the springform pan with the crust from the refrigerator and pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.
Prepare the Ganache:
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it starts to simmer. Add one of the flavoring suggestions if desired and stir in the chopped chocolate.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted. Then, stir in the butter.
- Let it cool for a couple of minutes, and then pour it over the cake.
