Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 160C/Gas 3.

  2. Step 2

    Grind the biscuits finely in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag - place it on the work surface and roll the cookies with a rolling pin into fine crumbs.

  3. Step 3

    Melt the Stork in a large saucepan and stir in the biscuit crumbs. Divide the biscuit mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake tin and press firmly with the back of a spoon.

  4. Step 4

    Finely grate the lemon over a large bowl. Squeeze the lemon and add about 2 tbsp of the juice to the zest (the rest of the juice is not used)

  5. Step 5

    Stir the cornflour with the lemon and mix the cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla, using a wooden spoon. Gradually beat in the eggs one by one.

  6. Step 6

    Pour the cream cheese mixture over the base of the prepared tin. Put the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until the filling is quite solid.

  7. Step 7

    Turn the oven off, leave the oven door slightly open and let the cheesecake cool in the oven. Cover with cling film and leave the cheesecake in the fridge for a day or overnight to stiffen further. Remove from the tin and sprinkle the cake with icing sugar. Cut into 10 slices and serve.
