Cheesecake....who doesn't love a slice of perfectly baked cheesecake :) mmmm...
I was reminded of how much I love cheesecake just the other day when I had some from Brunetti! mmmmm dear friends of mine, am I too greedy for having such a love for delicious sweets and desserts?
I decided that it was time to make my first New York Cheesecake! The outcome....awesome and delicious as it looks!
This is my simple recipe!
Ingredients:
350g of plain sweet biscuits, finely crushed in food processor
170g of unsalted butter, melted
750g of cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup of caster sugar
2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 tbsp plain flour
4 eggs
300 ml sour cream
fresh strawberries for decoration
Method:
1) Preheat oven to 160 degrees celcius. Line the base if a 23cm springform pan with non-stick baking paper.
2) Mix biscuits and melted butter in a bowl until well combined. Pressed the biscuit mix into the base and side of pan, press firmly, leaving about 1 cm at the top of the pan. Cover and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
3) Place cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract and lemon rind in a large bowl and beat with electric beater until just combine. Beat in flour, and then 1 egg at a time, beating well until just combined. Stir in the sour cream until just combined.
4) Pour the cream cheese mixture into the base. Place the pan on a baking tray and bake for 1 and 1/4 hours or until the centre is just slightly still wobbly. Turn off oven, with door ajar for about 2 hours. Then refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight to chill.
5) Served with sliced strawberries.
Lots of Love
