Ingredients

1 packet Marie or Tennis biscuits

4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

3 large eggs

1 cup castor sugar

750g cream cheese

1 cup fresh cream

juice of 1 lemon

1 Tbsp flour (yes, really)

1 tsp vanilla essence

Directions

Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Place a baking tray of water in the bottom of the oven to prevent cheesecake from cracking or bake cake in water bath.

For crust: Combine biscuits and butter until crumbly and moist and press into greased springform cake tin(about 22 cm). Refrigerate until needed.

For filling: Beat eggs and sugar on slow speed so as not to incorporate too much air.

Beat in cheese.

Stir in cream and mix well.

Add the lemon juice, vanilla essence and sift in flour. Beat well.

Pour mixture into base and bake at 160 Celsius until just firm, about 60 minutes.

Leave in oven, with door slightly open, to cool. When cooled completely, place in refrigerator to set.

Serve at room temperature, preferably next day so that flavours have developed fully.
