Chocolate Sauce:

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Grind the biscuits into fine crumbs and mix them with the melted butter. Press into the base of a round springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar and lemon juice for 3 minutes. Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds, and add them to the mixture. Gradually add eggs and egg yolk, beating for an additional 3 minutes.

3. Bake: After baking the crust for 10 minutes, pour the cheese mixture on top and return to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes at 160°C (320°F).

4. Prepare the Sauces:

• Berry Sauce: Blend half of the raspberries with sugar and water until smooth, then add the rest of the berries for texture. Chill.
• Strawberry Sauce: Blend half the strawberries with yogurt and add the remaining chopped strawberries. Chill.
• Chocolate Sauce: Melt dark chocolate with hot cream, stirring until smooth.

5. Serve: Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, chill it in the fridge for 1 hour. Serve it with the fruit sauces for a heavenly taste!

No matter which flavor you choose—rich chocolate or refreshing berry sauce—this cheesecake will always be a delightful treat 

Tips for Perfecting Your New York Cheesecake

• For a smooth, crack-free surface, make sure your cheesecake is cooled slowly at room temperature before refrigerating.
• If you want to add a little flair, try using different berries or mix the fruit sauces together for a unique twist!
• To prevent your crust from being soggy, be sure to bake it for the full 10 minutes until it’s golden brown.
