Serves 10

Prep - 20 minutes

Cooking time - 1 hour

Ingredients - 9


Base Ingredients:

2 cups crushed gluten free Anzac biscuits

1 cup crushed gluten free ginger-nut biscuits

75 grams butter

1 tbsp cinnamon spice


Topping Ingredients:

500 grams cream cheese

250 greek yoghurt (strained from excess liquid)

3 eggs

Half a lemon zest

Juice of 2 lemons


Method:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celsius (if you want to bake the base for a more golden crunch style)

  2. Add cream cheese to a bowl and mix for 3-5 minutes until smooth

  3. Add greek yoghurt to bowl and mix - then add eggs, lemon zest and juice and mix until combined - set aside

  4. Line a baking tray sides and bottom

  5. Using your hands to combine base mixture, place base biscuit into bottom of baking tray and press against tray with the bottom of a cup or measuring cup to form a smooth surface

  6. Bake for 15 minutes until the biscuit becomes slightly golden biscuit, or you can put in fridge until cooled (20 minutes)

  7. Add filling on-top of a cooled base and bake in oven o 160 degrees Celsius for 1 hour, or until only a little bit of the topping is jiggling in the middle of cake

  8. Let cheesecake cool inside oven, with oven door open for 1 hour

  9. Set in fridge overnight or a few hours until cool, add fruit toppings of your choice

About/Tips:

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Let cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream sit out before baking for a smoother texture.

  • Choose Full-Fat Cream Cheese: Opt for full-fat cream cheese for the best flavour and texture.

  • Use a Springform Pan: Use a springform pan lined with baking paper for easy removal.

  • Don't Over-bake: Bake until the edges are set but the centre is slightly jiggly.

  • Cool Gradually: Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door cracked open, then at room temperature before refrigerating.

  • Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

  • Add Toppings Before Serving: Add toppings like fresh fruit or chocolate just before serving for freshness.
