INGREDIENTS

Cookie crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups gingersnap cookies, crushed
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar


Cheesecake filling:

  • 16 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dry sparkling wine (Champagne, Prosecco, etc.)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced


Strawberry glaze (optional):

  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 01

  • Craft the bubbly base: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pulse gingersnap cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Combine cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.


STEP 02

  • Whip up the creamy canvas: In a large bowl, cream together mascarpone and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract, salt, and sparkling wine. Gently fold in cherries and strawberries until just combined.


STEP 03

  • Assemble the effervescent masterpiece: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top and tap the pan gently to remove any air bubbles.


STEP 04

  • Bake to sparkling perfection: Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for at least 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until completely set and chilled.


STEP 05

  • (Optional) Glaze with strawberry allure: In a small saucepan, combine strawberry jam, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Let cool slightly and drizzle over the chilled cheesecake for a touch of glossy crimson beauty.
