Description
I would like to dedicate this recipe to my Mum, Margaret. She loved sweet things & could never walk past a cake shop without sampling one the cream cakes from the window display :)
Method
-
1
Pre-heat your oven to 180.c
Grease the inside of a 23cm loose bottomed baking tin - & line the base
Crush the biscuits - You can put them inside a freezer / sandwich bag & crush with a rolling pin [easiest & least messy method]
Put the biscuits in a large bowl & mix in the melted butter
Press the mixture into the bottom of the baking tin & place in your pre-heated oven for 10 minutes
Put the cheese, creme fraiche, 175g of the caster sugar, all of the lemon zest & the juice into a large bowl and lightly beat until all is mixed together - then gradually beat in the eggs & the vanilla extract
Pour the mixture over the baked biscuit base & place in your oven - for 40 minutes
Meanwhile - puree half of the fruit & the leftover sugar - then add the whole rasberries & lightly mix together
Pour the fruity mix over the cheesecake when it has been baked & serve immediately
Enjoy! :)
Chef's Tips
Don't worry if your cheesecake is a bit wobbly in the middle when you take it out of the oven - It will set once it starts to cool down!
