Baked Berry Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1 cup of sweet biscuit crumbs (I use Marie biscuits - about half a packet of Marie’s will give you 1 cup of crumbs)
- 90g of butter melted
- 750g cream cheese (Cream cheese is usually sold in 250g blocks, so you’ll need 3 of these) soften this first by taking it out of the fridge for a while before you begin.
- 1 cup caster sugar
- ½ cup cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 2 Tablespoons cornflour
- 1 ½ cups of frozen or fresh mixed berries or 1 x 415g tin of mixed berries, or a combination of these
Instructions
- Combine the biscuit crumbs and the butter and then press into the base of a lined 22cm (9 inch) springform pan to make the cheesecake base.
- Place in refrigerator.
- Beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, cream, vanilla and cinnamon until smooth.
- Add eggs and cornflour to the mixture and beat until combined.
- Pour mixture into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 160℃ / 320℉
- Remove from oven.
- Gently scatter berries on top.

- Allow to cool completely in the oven.
- Enjoy!
