- Press the biscuit crumb in to the base of the prepared pan. Place in the fridge.
- Place the boiling water in a bowl and then sprinkle over the gelatine. Stir to dissolve the gelatine and set aside to cool.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the caster sugar in a bowl until smooth. Add the cream and beat until well combined.
- Add the gelatine mixture and the lemon juice. Beat.
- Fold in the 200 grams of berries.
- Pour the mixture in the prepared pan and smooth over the surface. Return to the fridge.
- Process the remaining berries in a food processor until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve into a small saucepan. Stir in the lemon juice and caster sugar.
- Combine the cornflour and cold water in a cup or small bowl. Add to the pan and stir over a medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture boils and thickens. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Spread the berry topping over the cooled cheesecake. Spread evenly.
- Return the cheesecake to the fridge to set.
- Cheesecakes generally require at least 4 hours to set fully or leave overnight.
