  • 1 tablespoon Bee's Bounty Raw Cold-Filtered Honey
  • Pinch of sea salt

Honey Cheesecake Filling

  • 500 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 250 ml heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • ⅓ cup (110 g) Bee's Bounty Raw Cold-Filtered Honey
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Honey Topping

  • 2 tablespoons Bee's Bounty Raw Cold-Filtered Honey
  • 150 g fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 100 g fresh blueberries
  • 75 g raspberries
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Finely chopped pistachios (optional)

Equipment

  • 20 cm (8-inch) springform cake pan
  • Food processor or rolling pin
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Silicone spatula
  • Offset spatula (optional)

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Base

Combine the crushed biscuits, melted butter, Bee's Bounty Honey, and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the springform pan using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.

Step 2 – Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth. Add:
  • Bee's Bounty Honey
  • Vanilla extract
  • Lemon juice
  • Lemon zest
Continue beating until light and creamy.

Step 3 – Whip the Cream

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until medium-stiff peaks form. Do not overwhip.

Step 4 – Fold Together

Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until smooth and fully combined without deflating the whipped cream.

Step 5 – Assemble

Spread the filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Smooth the surface using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Cover and refrigerate for 6–8 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 6 – Decorate

Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top. Drizzle generously with Bee's Bounty Honey. Finish with fresh mint leaves and chopped pistachios if desired.

Step 7 – Serve

Slice using a warm knife, wiping the blade clean between each cut for neat, professional-looking slices. Serve chilled.
