INGREDIENTS

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Biobali Fig Preserve
  • 200 g cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or whipped cream
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh figs, sliced
  • Fresh strawberries or blueberries
  • Crushed pistachios
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Lemon zest
  • Extra Biobali Fig Preserve for drizzling

Equipment

  • 4 dessert glasses or small jars
  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric hand mixer or whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Spoon
  • Small bowl

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Prepare the Biscuit Base. Crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, pour in the melted butter, and mix until evenly coated and the texture resembles wet sand. Divide the mixture evenly among four serving glasses and gently press it down with the back of a spoon to create a firm, even base.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until well incorporated. Fold in the Greek yogurt (or lightly whipped cream) and mix until the filling becomes smooth, creamy, and airy.

3. Assemble the First Layer. Spoon half of the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared biscuit bases. Use the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula to smooth the surface, creating a clean and even layer inside each glass.

4. Add the Fig Preserve Layer. Carefully spoon approximately 1–2 teaspoons of Biobali Fig Preserve over the cheesecake filling in each cup. Gently spread the preserve into an even layer without mixing it into the cheesecake, allowing the rich fig flavor to remain distinct.

5. Build the Second Layer. Divide the remaining cheesecake filling among the glasses, carefully covering the fig preserve layer. Smooth the tops until neat and level for an attractive café-style presentation.

6. Chill Until Set. Cover each dessert cup with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or preferably overnight. Chilling allows the cheesecake filling to firm up while the flavors develop into a rich, creamy dessert.

7. Decorate Before Serving. Just before serving, top each cheesecake cup with another spoonful of Biobali Fig Preserve. Garnish with fresh fig slices, berries, crushed pistachios, mint leaves, or a light sprinkle of lemon zest for additional freshness, color, and texture.

8. Serve Chilled. Serve directly from the dessert glasses while well chilled. The combination of creamy cheesecake, buttery biscuit crumbs, and naturally sweet fig preserve creates a perfectly balanced dessert that's both refreshing and indulgent
