  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely zested

  • 1 1/2 cups muesli (your favorite one)

  • 7 tablespoons sugar

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large bowl add the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon zest and whisk to combine. Pour in the cream and gently whisk until the mixture has thickened enough to hold its shape. Leave to set in the fridge until ready to use.

  • Step 2: To make the compote, put the cherries, sugar, star anise, and orange peel into a medium saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10–15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened (but it will continue to thicken as it cools down). Set aside to come to room temperature. Discard star anise and orange peel.

  • Step 3: When ready to serve, spoon a large scoop of the cheesecake into each bowl and top with some muesli. Spoon the compote on top and finish with the remaining muesli.
