Ingredients

  • 300 g butter cookies (tea biscuits or oatmeal cookies)
  • 120 g melted butter
  • 200 g fresh raspberries
  • 200 ml whipped cream
  • 200 g cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Grind the cookies in a food processor until fine. Mix with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 20–22 cm (8–9 inch) pan. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
  3. For the raspberry cream layer: Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped cream, then gently stir in raspberries. Spread over the chilled base.
  4. For the vanilla cream layer: Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth, then add vanilla. Fold in whipped cream and gently spread over the raspberry layer.
  5. Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
  6. Before serving, top with piped whipped cream, fresh raspberries, mint leaves, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries instead of raspberries.
  • Add lemon zest to the raspberry layer for brightness.
  • Chocolate biscuits can be used for a richer crust.
  • Mascarpone can substitute cream cheese for a richer taste.
  • Create mini versions in jars or glasses for individual servings.
