The story behind this recipe

I love and recommend that everyone cooks and consumes seasonal fruits and vegetables. I take it as a challenge, and today's challenge was to make something delicious with the fragrant grapes I received from my relatives, since they were busy making wine.

I wondered how I could prepare them in a way that kept them whole without altering their flavor. The cheesecake I made is an ideal way to prepare something with the scent of autumn 🍂.

I prepared this dessert late last night, so I don't have many photos, but I am sure I will be clear enough about the steps you need to follow.

Take 300g of whole wheat biscuits and crush them together with 150g of melted butter and a pinch of salt. Spread the crust into the pan and leave it in the fridge while you make the cream.

250g of mascarpone mixed with 200g of well-beaten whipped cream, 80g of brown sugar, and a little lemon juice.

Finally, add 10 grams of gelatin dissolved in a little milk.

If you like, though it's not mandatory, you can add a little vanilla.

After mixing the cream, add the whole grapes and continue stirring with a spoon until they are incorporated.

Spread the cream over the crust and decorate with grapes. It can be served after sitting in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
