How to make cheesecake
Points to remember
Put the biscuits in a food bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Stir through the melted butter and press the mixture into a loose-bottomed tin.
Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure a crisp base when your cheesecake is finished.
Beat the soft cheese until creamy, then add the sugar, followed by the flour and salt.
Mix in lemon zest, juice and vanilla extract, then gradually beat in the eggs.
Add the soured cream and whisk on the lowest setting of your electric beater or by hand.
Pour the filling onto the base and cook in a preheated oven.
If it's cooked the cheesecake should have a slight wobble in the centre.
Turn off the oven leaving the cheesecake inside to cool.
Spread a mixture of soured cream, sugar and lemon juice on top of the cooled cheesecake.
Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
