Servings 8
Equipment
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 9 inch springform pan
- 1 rubber spatula
- 2 large glass bowls
- 1 set of measuring spoons
- 1 set of digital scales
- 1 food processor/rolling pin
- 1 offset spatula
Ingredients
- 200 g digestive biscuits
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 1 kg full fat cream cheese
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g icing sugar
Instructions
- Begin by weighing out your ingredients
- Add the 200g of digestive biscuits to a food processor and pulse until uniform crumbs form - around 6 pulses should do it.
- Set the crumbs aside in a large bowl and begin melting the unsalted butter over medium-low heat
- Once the butter is melted, add it to the digestive crumbs and stir well until the mixture resembles wet sand
- Press the mixture into the 9-inch springform pan until nicely compacted and flattened using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small saucepan.
- Set aside in the fridge to allow the base to set - this shouldnt take too long, around 15 minutes
- To make the cheesecake filling add the cream cheese to a large bowl and sieve in the icing sugar. Add the vanilla extract.
- Beat in the icing sugar using a hand whisk or an electric whisk/stand mixer with beater attachment on slow speed until the mixture is uniform and smooth and just combined.
- Spread the mixture over the set biscuit base and smooth over with an offset spatula to create a level finish
- Leave the cheesecake overnight to fully set before slicing
