New York Cheesecake
American · Dessert · 100 min · 10 servings
Ingredients
- 200 g digestive biscuits
- 80 g butter
- 900 g cream cheese
- 200 g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 200 ml sour cream
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Vanilla
Instructions
- Blitz the biscuits, mix with melted butter and press into the tin.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar on LOW — too much air makes a cheesecake rise then sink.
- Add the eggs one at a time.
- Fold in the sour cream, zest and vanilla.
- Wrap the tin in foil and sit it in a tray of water.
- Bake at 160°C for 60-70 minutes, until the centre barely wobbles.
- Turn the oven off and cool it inside with the door ajar for an hour; a sudden chill cracks it.
- Chill overnight.
