Light Cold Cheesecake with Mulberries

Light Cold Cheesecake with Mulberries.
Fresh and tasty dessert, ideal for the summer season.
Without cream or sugar, you can make it with all seasonal fruits, today I had mulberries which are typical of this May period.
The first cheesecake we have any news about seems to date back to ancient Greece, where four thousand years ago it was served to athletes during the first Olympic Games of 776 B.C. Today it is prepared in many variations, so not only baked in the oven, but made in the form of a “pudding” or solid “cream”, suitable for respecting the dietary canons of many.
This particular recipe is also ideal for those who do not like sugar and does not contain cream either, making it suitable for those following restrictive dietary regimes, without depriving them of a guilty pleasure.
