Ingredients
- Thandai mix
- Cream cheese
- Whipped cream
- Digestive biscuits
- Butter
- Plum compote
Instructions
- In a food processor, crush digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Melt butter and mix thoroughly with biscuit crumbs until they resemble wet sand consistency.
- Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even base. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to set.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Thandai mix powder to the cream cheese, blending carefully to create a uniform flavor and color throughout the mixture.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese and Thandai mixture, maintaining a light and airy texture.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for minimum 4-6 hours or preferably overnight to allow complete setting.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with plum compote, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Garnish with additional Thandai mix powder or chopped nuts if desired, then slice and serve chilled.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth, lump-free cheesecake base.
- When crushing biscuits, pulse them in the food processor to get a consistent, fine crumb texture.
- Press the biscuit base firmly and evenly to create a solid foundation for your cheesecake.
- When folding whipped cream, use a gentle, circular motion to maintain the light, airy texture.
- For the best flavor and texture, allow the cheesecake to set overnight in the refrigerator.
- Use a hot knife (dipped in warm water and wiped dry) when cutting to get clean, perfect slices.
- The plum compote adds a beautiful contrast – don't skip this final touch!
- For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with chopped pistachios or a sprinkle of Thandai mix before serving.
