Kekskuchen

Ingredients

• 250 g Amaretti
• 100 g Soft Butter
• 6 sheets gelatin
• 500 g cream cheese
• 100 g powdered sugar
• 250 ml Whipping Cream
• 50 ml orange juice
• 500 g mixed berries (e.g., raspberries and blueberries)
• 1 packet clear gelatin glaze (colorless)
• 2 tbsp sugar (or as directed on package)

Instructions

1. 1.

   For the base, place the Amaretti in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix well with soft butter in a bowl. Press onto the bottom of a springform pan, smoothing evenly with a tablespoon so the entire surface is covered. Chill in the refrigerator.

2. 2.

   For the filling, soak gelatin in cold water. In a bowl combine cream cheese and powdered sugar, whisk until smooth. Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Warm the drained gelatin with orange juice in a small pot until melted. Stir 2–3 tbsp of the cream mixture into the gelatin, then quickly fold in the remaining cream. Fold in the whipped cream and pour over the prepared cookie base. Smooth top and chill for at least 3 hours.

3. 3.

   Sift berries and scatter over the chilled cake. Prepare the gelatin glaze according to package instructions with 250 ml water and sugar; drizzle evenly over the berries with a tablespoon. Chill the finished cake in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until set.

4. 4.

   Before serving, release from the pan. Use a knife along the springform rim to loosen and remove the ring. Cut carefully into pieces.
