Ingredients
- 1 cup rosé wine
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoon salted butter, melted
- two 8-ounce packages cream cheese (preferably philadelphia) at room temperature
- 1/4 cup rosé wine
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cup cantaloupe balls 1-inch in diameter (the small side of a standard melon baller)
- 1 1/2 cup blackberries
Directions
- Place 1/2 cup of the rosé wine in a small bowl and sprinkle with the gelatin.
- Allow to soften for 5 minutes. Bring the remaining 1/2 cup of rosé wine and the water to a boil; add the sugar and stir to dissolve.
- Pour over the gelatin mixture and stir until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
- Pour into a 9-inch square baking dish (or another vessel with a similar surface area) and refrigerate for 40 to 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to a syrup-like consistency.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
- Pour the melted butter over top and, using a fork, stir together until the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Transfer to a 9-inch springform pan and press into an even layer.
- Refrigerate while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat together the cream cheese and rosé wine until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add the heavy cream and beat on medium speed until the mixture has thickened, about 30 seconds.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and gradually add the sugar, then continue to beat until the mixture is very thick and holds very stiff peaks (about 2 minutes total).
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 30 seconds.
- Pile the filling on top of the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Lightly press the blackberries and cantaloupe onto the top of the cheesecake as desired.
- Refrigerate if the gelatin mixture is not ready yet.
- Once the gelatin mixture has reached the thick, syrupy consistency, very slowly pour it over the fruit.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours prior to serving.
- When ready to serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of the springform pan and release the sides.
- The cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Notes:
- Given that there is uncooked wine in this recipe, it is not recommended to serve it to children.
- This cheesecake can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve.
