Bloody Halloween Cake

This Bloody Halloween Cake is actually an amazingly delightful no-bake cheesecake, with one of my favorite flavor combinations, raspberries and mango.

Oreo cookie crust followed by layers of white chocolate mango cream cheese filling with raspberry sauce insert. The cake is then coated in oreo crumbs and decorated with some melted marshmallow strands. Might look a bit creepy but the cheesecake itself is absolutely delicious. Creamy refreshing filling, bursting of fruit flavor that makes a great balance with the crispy crust and oreo coating.

How to make Bloody Halloween Cake

Start by preparing the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until it thickens. Remove from heat, strain to remove seeds, and let it cool down.

Next, prepare the crust. Line the sides of an 8-inch (20 cm) round springform pan with acetate sheet and line the bottom with parchment paper. Crush oreo cookies in a food processor until crumbs form. Mix in melted butter until evenly moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan using a spoon and set aside.

For the mango cream cheese filling, melt white chocolate with 4 tablespoons of cream in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Dissolve gelatin in cold water, then dissolve it over low heat and mix it into the melted chocolate. Let it cool slightly.

In a large bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, mango puree, and melted chocolate. In another bowl, whip chilled whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the mango cream cheese mixture.

How to assemble the cake

Spread 1/3 of the filling over the prepared crust. Spoon half of the raspberry sauce over the surface and create swirls. Gently spread another third of the cream cheese filling. Add spoons of jam and create swirls. Finally, spread the remaining cream cheese filling and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.

To decorate, coat the cake in Oreo crumbs. Melt marshmallows in a heatproof bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. Use forks to apply thin strands of melted marshmallows over the cake.
