Ingredients

125g of digestive biscuits

75g of softened unsalted butter

300g of cream cheese

60g of icing sugar

1 tsp of vanilla

juice of half a lime or lemon

250ml of double cream

cherry preserve or blueberry jam

Directions

Using a food processor, blitz together the biscuits and butter until it looks and feels like a wet sand. Pour and press the mixture in an 8" spingform pan until it covers the whole bottom. Reverve.

In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lime (or lemon). Reserve.

In another bowl lightly whip the cream until it thickens a bit. You don't have to put too much air in it, it has to be firm but still creamy and not dry.

Mix together the cream cheese and the cream until they're completely amalgamated. Pour mixture in the springform pan and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours (in my case, I had to refrigerate it overnight because brazilian double cream is not as thick as the british one).

After the cheesecake has set, pour the cherry preserve on top of it and serve. I prefer blueberry jam, which I dissolve with a bit of water in a pan over low heat, until it looks like a thick syrup. After that, I sieve it to make a smooth sauce.

Nigella said "digestive biscuits", since they don't sell those in Brazil, I used regular crackers. Just sweet ones that we have here.

Thanks, Ahmed. It's just that it's such a creamy pie, I don't want to spoil it with pits. This is why I prefer to dissolve and sieve the jam. :)

Think we could use a graham crackers or vanilla waffers crushed for the crust for this? Looks yummy. Thanks for the post.

Thanks! It is quick, the only thing you have to pay attention to is the time the cheesecake will set on your fridge. It took a bit more to me.
