10 easy steps for making a vanilla cheesecake.
Ingredients:
200g Digestive biscuits
75g Unsalted butter
400g Full fat cream cheese (Room temperature)
300ml Creme fresh (Room temperature)
1 cap of vanilla extract
Shot of Jack Daniels
Half eaten Lindt white bunny as a topping
Step 1
Weigh out 200g of digestive biscuits. Mine worked out at 14 biscuits.
Step 2
Place biscuits in a plastic bag and bash them with either a rolling pin or bash them on the worktop until they turn into something that resemble biscuit crumbs.
Step 3
Place your crumbs into a bowl and put to one side.
Step 4
Take 75g of unsalted butter, place in a saucepan and stir until it has all melted.
Step 5
Pour your melted butter over your bread crumbs and stir together until all the bread crumbs are coated and the mixture starts to stick together.
Step 6
Take a tin of your chose. The bigger your tin the thinner your base will be. I chose a medium size tin. Pour your biscuit crumbs into the tin and press down with the back of a spoon. Once you have done this place your base in the fridge to chill while you make your topping.
Step 7
Take 400g of full fat cream cheese and 300ml of creme fresh in a bowl. You can either use an electric whisk or wooden spoon to beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 8
Now to add your flavouring. For mine I used a cap of vanilla and a shot of Jack Daniels but you can follow this recipe and change your flavour to whatever you fancy.
Step 9
Once you have added your flavouring remove your base from the fridge, spoon your mixture on the base and spread out with a palette knife until the base is completely covered.
Step 10
The final step is to add your topping. I chose to grate white chocolate over the finished cheesecake but you can add whatever topping you want. You could use fruit, chocolate or even left over digestive biscuits.
I hope this post was helpful.
Enjoy!
