Description

This cheesecake recipe from Jamie Oliver uses just five ingredients to create a rich and creamy dessert. It’s a no-bake cheesecake, meaning there’s no need to worry about oven time. The base is made from crushed biscuits, while the filling is a combination of cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, all topped with a zesty fruit like lemon or berries.

Ingredients

  • Digestive biscuits: 200g (7 oz), for the base.
  • Butter: 100g (3.5 oz), melted, to bind the biscuit base.
  • Cream cheese: 300g (10.5 oz), for the rich and creamy filling.
  • Icing sugar: 80g (2.8 oz), to sweeten the filling.
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon, to add flavor to the cheesecake.

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh fruit: Strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries add a burst of freshness.
  • Lemon zest: Adds a tangy flavor that complements the creamy filling.
  • Chocolate shavings: For a more indulgent finish.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Biscuit Base

  1. Crush the Biscuits: Place the digestive biscuits in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs. Alternatively, use a food processor.
  2. Combine with Butter: In a mixing bowl, stir the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs until evenly coated.
  3. Press into Tin: Press the mixture firmly into the base of the springform tin to form an even layer. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the filling.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Spread the Filling: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing it out with a spatula to create an even layer.
  2. Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until it has set completely.

4. Serve

  1. Add Toppings: Before serving, top with your favorite fresh fruit, lemon zest, or chocolate shavings for added flavor and texture.
  2. Slice and Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform tin, slice, and serve chilled.
