🥘 Ingredients and Substitutes

• Gelatin. I used powdered gelatin, but you can easily replace it with leaf gelatine.
• Evaporated Milk. I used evaporated milk to give a richer caramelized flavor. You can replace it with single cream to get a creamy texture or use regular milk instead.
• Earl Grey Tea. Use your favorite earl grey tea that you prefer. Just ensure that it has a strong aroma.
• Biscuits. I used digestive biscuits, but you can use any other type of biscuits that you usually use as a base for the cheesecakes.
• Butter.
• Cream Cheese.
• Powdered Sugar.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-step Directions

In a plate, pour half of the amount of evaporated milk and soak in it the gelatin.

After that, take a small saucepan and infuse the earl grey tea in the rest of the evaporated milk.

To infuse the earl gray tea, heat the evaporated milk, then dip the tea bags in it. Leave it like that until we prepare the rest of the ingredients.

In the meantime, let’s prepare the biscuit base for the cheesecake.

Crush the biscuits. You can use a food processor, or you can put the biscuits into a bag and, using a rolling pin crush the biscuits.

After that, melt the butter in the microwave or in a saucepan and pour it over the biscuits. Mix well.

Take a plate on which you plan to serve the cake. Then in it, put the baking ring and cover the walls of the baking ring with baking paper or acetate film.

Now, you can pour the biscuit cheesecake base that we did previously with crushed biscuits and melted butter.

After that, using your fingers or glass with a flat bottom, press the biscuits to get a compact and uniform layer.

Quick Note: Put this plate into the refrigerator to set until we prepare the rest of the ingredients for the cheesecake.

Now, let’s start preparing the cream for the cheesecake.

We will need a mixer to whisk for that.

At this stage, our goal is to incorporate cream cheese with powdered sugar.

Now, let’s return to the infused evaporated milk with the earl grey tea.

Remove the tea bags from the evaporated milk and dissolve the gelatin that has swollen in the meantime in the milk.

Pro Tip: If the tea-infused milk is cold, heat it well, but be careful not to boil the gelatin because it will lose its gelling properties.

The next step is to incorporate the gelatin into the cream cheese mass. To avoid lumps and uneven gelling, add only half of the cream cheese mass to the milk with the dissolved gelatin. Stir well.

After you mix the composition well, add the rest of the cream cheese composition and mix well again.

Pour the obtained cream over the biscuit base that we made previously.

Pro Tip: Put the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 more hours to ensure that it gels (hardens).

Remove the baking ring from around the cake and carefully remove the baking paper.

We’re done! Now you can decorate the cake to your liking.

To keep the theme of herbs and tea flavors, I decorated the cheesecake with some aromatic herbs and dehydrated fruits.

The cheesecake is ready to be sliced and served.

🏆 Expert Tips. What to Pay Attention To?

• To achieve the best flavor and texture, use high-quality ingredients. This includes using fresh cream cheese, good-quality Earl Grey tea, and high-quality gelatin.
• Make sure to dissolve the gelatin properly to avoid lumps in the filling. Follow the instructions on the package carefully and whisk the gelatin into the filling mixture until it’s fully dissolved.
• After making the cheesecake, it’s important to leave it to chill to ensure it sets properly.
• Use a baking ring because it is ideal for making cheesecakes as it allows for easy removal of the cheesecake without damaging it.
