Cheesecake Recipe

Here's the cheesecake recipe I whipped up a couple of days ago. It's actually a cherry cheesecake but I substitute it with blueberry jam..

INGREDIENTS

125g digestive biscuits
75g soft butter
300g cream cheese
60g icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
250ml double cream

1 jar Black Cherry Spread

METHOD

1.Blitz the biscuits in a food processor until beginning to turn to crumbs, then add the butter and whiz again to make the mixture clump.
2.Press this mixture into a 20cm springform tin; press a little up the sides to form a slight ridge.
3.Beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
4.Lightly whip the double cream, and then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
5.Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the biscuit base and smooth with a spatula. Put it in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight.
6.When you are ready to serve the cheesecake, unmould it and spread the black cherry over the top.

Note: Jam might be a tad sweet for some, so spread it sparingly. I also used whipping cream instead of double cream.
