Cheesecake New York Style
Ingredients
50 gm Butter
100 gm Marie biscuits
500 gm Mascarpone
150 gm Creme fraiche
100 gm Caster sugar
2 Tbsp Plain flour
2 Egg(s)
Vanilla essence
Method
Preheat the oven to 160�C.
Crush the biscuits using a food processor. Melt the butter and add the biscuit crumbs. Spread the biscuit mixture over the base of a loose bottomed cake tin and press to form a base. Bake for 10 minutes.
Beat together the mascarpone cheese and sugar until smooth. Then add the creme fraiche and flour and beat again. Gradually add the eggs and vanilla. Do not whisk too much as this will incorporate too much air and affect the smooth consistency of the cheesecake. Pour the mixture onto the base and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes. The cheesecake should be just set with a slight wobble.
Once the cheesecake is cooked turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in it with the door slightly open and leave to cool. Chill before serving.
