Ingredients

• 200 grams digestive biscuits
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 500 grams cream cheese
• 150 grams caster sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 grams sour cream
• 2 tablespoons icing sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a 9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the digestive biscuits in a food processor and blend until they form fine crumbs.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs and melted butter until well mixed.

Step 5

Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of the prepared baking tin to create an even layer.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and caster sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 9

Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Step 10

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled biscuit crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 11

Return the tin to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 12

While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the sour cream topping by mixing the sour cream and icing sugar together in a small bowl.

Step 13

Once the cheesecake is baked, remove it from the oven and spread the sour cream topping evenly over the surface.

Step 14

Return the cheesecake to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 15

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 16

Once chilled, cut the cheesecake into slices and serve. Enjoy!
