Ingredients

Biscuit Base:
  • 200 g Digestive biscuits
  • 140 g Butter
Cheesecake Filling:
  • 600 g Cream cheese
  • 2 tbsps Plain flour
  • 2 tsps Vanilla bean paste
  • 200 g Soured cream
  • 350 g Golden caster sugar
  • 3 Medium eggs
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 150℃
  • Lightly grease an 18-20cm springform tin with butter.
  • Use a food processor to blitz the digestive biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can put these into a sandwich bag and smash them with a rolling pin.
  • Melt the butter, then add it to the digestives, mix until it is well combined and resembles wet sand.
  • Place the mix into the springform tin, press down firmly. Place it in the fridge whilst you get the cheesecake filling ready.
  • Use a whisk to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the flour and beat until well combined.
  • Add the vanilla, lemon zest, sugar, and soured cream. Whisk until it is just combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and beat to combine. Do not over beat as this will aerate the mix.
  • Pour the mix into the tin.
  • Bake for 50 minutes. The top should be slightly golden, and it should have a slight wobble.
  • Turn the oven off but leave the cheesecake in the oven for an hour with the oven door partly open.
  • Once cool, place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least four hours, but ideally overnight.
  • Unclip the sides and cut the cheesecake into portions. Serve with berries and a dusting of icing sugar.
