As an avid baker I have been meaning to make a cheesecake for the longest time. This is the second time I have made a cheesecake. With that in mind I thought I would Bake a cheesecake, having made a very basic non-bake one before.
All I can say is you MUST try it out…it was delicious!!!
Doesn't look that great, but I assure you, it was BRILLIANT (if do say so myself)
The ingredients were:
CAKE:
500g Cream Cheese (Philadelphia)
225g of white caster sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
225g cup of sour cream
BASE:
250g digestive biscuits (your choice really)
125g unsalted butter
METHOD:
- Just pre heat the over to 165°C
- Cream the cream cheese and sugar together
- Add the eggs one at a time
- Add vanilla and sour cream
- For the base; melt the butter and add to crushed/blitzed biscuits in a bowl and mix to combine.
- Press this mixture down into an 8 inch loose bottomed baking tin.
- Add the cream cheese mixture on top and bake for 45-50 minutes.
You can add your choice of fruit on top. It tasted better the next day if I’m honest, but it was well worth the reward at the end of all of that baking.
Please try it let me know how you like it. =) x
