Ingredients

For the biscuit base:
- 400 g biscuits (preferably digestive or cocoa)
- 200 g butter (melted)
- 6 tablespoons milk

For the cheese cream:
- 500 g cottage cheese (make sure it is well drained)
- 300 g whipped cream (like Hulala or similar)
- 4 tablespoons sugar

For decoration:
- 200 ml whipped cream (to be whipped and used for topping)
- 1 pack red jelly (from Dr. Oetker or another brand)

Necessary utensils
- 24 cm diameter baking pan
- Baking paper
- Mixing bowl
- Mixer or whisk
- Spatula
- Small pot (for preparing the jelly)

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the base
1. Crush the biscuits: Start by crushing the biscuits. You can do this using a food processor or by placing the biscuits in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. The goal is to achieve a fine mixture, but not too powdery.

2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and the 6 tablespoons of milk. Mix well until the mixture becomes homogeneous and has a moist appearance.

3. Form the base: Line the baking pan with baking paper. Add the biscuit mixture to the pan and press it firmly with a spatula or the bottom of a glass. Make sure the base is evenly distributed.

4. Cooling: Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, so the base firms up.

Step 2: Preparing the cheese cream
5. Mix the cheese: In a bowl, add the cottage cheese and sugar. Use a mixer or whisk to mix the ingredients until you get a creamy and lump-free mixture.

6. Incorporate the whipped cream: Add the whipped cream (300 g) to the cheese mixture and continue mixing on low speed until everything is well combined. The consistency should be fluffy and airy.

Step 3: Assembling the cheesecake
7. Add the cream: Remove the base from the refrigerator and pour the cheese cream over it, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

8. Additional cooling: Put the cheesecake back in the refrigerator for another 30-60 minutes, for the cream to stabilize.

Step 4: Decorating
9. Whip the remaining cream: In another bowl, whip the 200 ml of cream until it becomes firm. You can add a little sugar to make it sweeter, if desired.

10. Decorate the cheesecake: Use a spatula or a piping bag to apply the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake, creating an appealing look.

Step 5: Preparing the jelly
11. Prepare the jelly: Follow the instructions on the jelly package. Typically, you need to dissolve the powder in hot water, mixing well until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly.

12. Finish the cheesecake: Pour the warm jelly over the cheesecake, being careful not to disturb the whipped cream decoration. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then move it to the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Serving and suggestions
Once the cheesecake has cooled, it is ready to be served! You can cut it into slices and present it on elegant platters. It is delicious alongside a fruit tea or a glass of freshly squeezed juice. You can also add some fresh berries or a caramel sauce for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips and useful advice
- Savory biscuit version: If you want to try something different, use savory biscuits for the base. This will add an interesting contrast between sweet and salty.
- Fresh fruits: You can add various fruits on top of the cheesecake, such as strawberries, blueberries, or peaches, to give it a fresh flavor.
- Alternative sugar: Instead of white sugar, you can use honey or natural sweeteners for a healthier version.

Nutritional benefits
