Ingredients

For the berry caviar:
- 200 g frozen berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 liter water
- 10 g powdered gelatin
- 200 ml cold oil
- 2 tablespoons salt
- Ice cubes

For the cheesecake base:
- 200 g digestive biscuits, crushed
- 50 g butter, melted
- 250 g cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preparing the Berry Caviar
Start by making the berry caviar. Place the frozen berries in a saucepan, add the 3 tablespoons of sugar and 100 ml of water. Set over low heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. This process will release the delicious juices of the berries.

2. Straining and Hydrating the Gelatin
Once the mixture has simmered, strain the berries, keeping the resulting syrup. This will be the base for the caviar. In another bowl, hydrate the gelatin in 50 ml of water for 10 minutes, then pour the hot syrup over the hydrated gelatin and mix well until completely dissolved. Use a squeeze bottle to keep the caviar handy.

3. Preparing the Ice Bath
In a large bowl, fill it with cold water, adding ice and 2 tablespoons of salt. In another bowl, pour the cold oil. Place the bowl in the ice bath and drip drops of the berry syrup into the cold oil. They will solidify instantly, creating delicious fruit caviar.

4. Preparing the Cheesecake Base
In a bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and mix well until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. Layer some of the biscuit mixture into jars. On top, add a few berries for a touch of freshness.

5. Creating the Cheesecake Cream
In another bowl, mix the cream cheese with the honey until creamy and smooth. Fill the jars with this mixture, making sure to cover the biscuit layer well.

6. Finalizing the Dessert
Finally, decorate with the berry caviar, adding a few whole berries for an attractive look. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and become a refreshing delicacy.
