I love a good cheesecake, but only plain cheesecake without any additional fruity flavors. It's probably one of the easiest cakes to make. The only problem is that it takes a good hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes to bake. Also, with cheesecake, you really gotta let it cool for a good few hours or even overnight for it to get firm and hold shape. BUT, it's absolutely worth it :)
Ingredients:
- 500 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- 12 digestive biscuits
- 25 grams butter
Method:
- Blend the digestive biscuits in a food processor with the melted butter until thoroughly mixed. Cover the base of a baking dish/cake tin with the mixture, press down well and bake at 150 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese (Philadelphia), sugar, eggs and cornflour.
- After 5 minutes, remove the cheesecake base from the oven, cover with the cream cheese mixture, and then return to the oven in a bain-marie (keep the cake tin over a tray or a bigger tin filled with water.. although I think it should bake just fine without the bain-marie). Leave to cook for one hour forty-five minutes. Insert a skewer into the cake to test if it is cooked. If it comes out clean, remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing from the mould.
