Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

2 medium beetroots, roasted and pureed
16 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz goat cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Garnish:

Fresh mint leaves
Honey for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool while preparing the filling.
Roast and Puree the Beetroots: Wrap the beetroots in aluminum foil and roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Let them cool, then peel and puree in a blender or food processor.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, goat cheese, and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the beetroot puree, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Beat until well combined and smooth.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly puffed.
Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a drizzle of honey.
