When Qurator's: Hive Top Chef! | Cheesecake, showed up in my feed, there was no way I was going to miss out on making my absolute favourite teatime or dessert treat.
Cheesecake with a Strawberry Coulis and fresh Berries topping for morning tea, and again for dessert tonight, sounds like pure indulgence!
I'm not generally fond of traditional baked cheesecakes, as the flavour changes when baked, and the texture is not as fluffy as I like.
This cheesecake however is only baked for 10 minutes, no longer, so keeps its fluffy texture!
I veered off from the original recipe I've used for many moons. The original recipe calls for full-cream smooth cottage cheese and UHT Cream; I used fat-free cottage cheese and fresh cream.
One fat-free ingredient in cheesecake will make hardly any difference in the fat content, but I grabbed the wrong tub of cottage cheese and only realized it when I got to the till! The store did not have any UHT cream, so I bought fresh cream!
I was a tad concerned as the friend who gave me this recipe many moons ago, emphasized that UHT cream had to be used. In hindsight, I must admit that she was right, UHT cream makes the filling ultra creamy, but it still was creamy and very good!
We have a glut of Strawberries and Blueberries at the moment, so I topped the cheesecake with a super-quick Strawberry Coulis, and fresh Strawberries and Blueberries.

If technology would ever just catch up to my thoughts, I'd insist you DM me a piece.
Haha you have a brilliant mind @dandays, that would be the greatest invention ever!
I'll have an extra slice just for you😋
I love this one, but unfortunately, berries are sooo expensive in my country, so I prefer to buy it at a cake store. :)
Hi @@@anggreklestari, it's the same here, berries usually are very expensive, so it's been a pleasant surprise to find they're so cheap this season. I've been making the most of it🍓

I don't know what UHT cream is. That looks like a pretty easy cheesecake compared to some recipes I've read. I really love cheesecake, but they don't make good ones here for the most part. I think they put in gelatin or something, so they're more like mousse, fluffy. I like a thick NY cheesecake! There are two local places I've just learned have good ones, so I'll be visiting them more often (one I had at a friend's birthday party and it had passionfruit on the top - so yummy). Cottage cheese isn't available anywhere in our town, so I'll have to figure out a substitute if I want to make it. I'm glad you entered. I love seeing your recipe posts!
Hi @apanamamama, a friend told me about a recipe using yogurt, apparently is just like cheesecake. I will get it and pass on to you.
This truly is pure indulgence!
