Ingredients
- 13 ounces cream cheese, full-fat, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely zested
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups muesli (your favorite one)
- 21 ounces pitted cherries, frozen, defrosted
- 7 tablespoons sugar
- 4 star anise, whole
- 1 orange, peel finely shaved to get 4 strips
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.
