PREP TIME: COOKING TIME: Serves
30 mins 175 mins 12

Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 140g Digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 90g Kerrymaid Buttery, melted

  • For the filling:
  • 950g Soft cheese
  • 250g Golden caster sugar
  • 3 tbsp Plain flour
  • 1 Pinch of salt
  • 1½ tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Lemons, zested and juiced
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 150g Kerrymaid Double

Method

  1. Grease and line a springform cheesecake tin. Mix the crushed biscuits and melted Kerrymaid Buttery and press into the base of the tin to form an even layer.

  2. Preheat oven to 200°C. Beat soft cheese until creamy, then with the mixer on low, gradually add the sugar, flour and salt. Scrape down as required.

  3. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest and continue to mix. Add eggs and yolk one at a time, scraping down as required. Add Kerrymaid Double and mix until smooth.

  4. Pour filling into the tin and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 110°C and bake for a further 45 minutes or until it has a ‘just set’ wobble. Turn off the oven, open the door and allow to cool for 2 hours.

  5. Once the mix is in the tin, try dropping in fresh raspberries or blueberries. The moisture in the fruit could increase the cook time, so bear that in mind.

TOP TIP FROM OUR CHEF

  • Try dropping blueberries into the cake mix just before you bake for a delicious blueberry cheesecake (please note this may extend cooking time, so keep an eye on it!)
