Instructions

Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).

Crush the digestive biscuits finely and mix with melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan to form the crust.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla essence until smooth and creamy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Stir in whipping cream until well combined.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared base and smooth the top.

Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set.

Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serve plain or topped with red berry jam, sauce, or fresh fruit.

Notes

For a smoother texture, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.

Best made a day ahead for optimal flavor and firmness.

Optional: Add lemon zest or swap vanilla for almond extract for a twist.
