What follows is a recipe for a heavy, rich baked cheesecake although it can be lightened a little by using half full-fat cottage cheese to half philadelphia. The base can be a good way of using up gluten free biscuits[buckwheat choc chip cookies, Anzac cookies or cranberry & macadamia cookies ] which are past their best. Personally I prefer a shortbread layer underneath.
Whatever cheese you use, it must be at room temperature for best results and baking in a bain-marie produces the creamiest texture. To start, prepare the base of your choice in a 23cm springform tin and set up a bain-marie. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
