A very simple and quick recipe that looks like you've spent hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 14 Arnott's milk arrowroot biscuits
- 125 g butter melted
- 600 g cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
- 2 tbs plain flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 300 g fresh raspberries
- 1 tbs icing sugar
- 1 1/2 tbs raspberry jam
Method
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 180C.
-
Step 2Place biscuits in a food processor and crush until the texture of breadcrumbs.
-
Step 3Mix with the melted butter, press into a well-greased 20cm springform pan and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool while making filling.
-
Step 4Using an electric beater, beat the cream cheese, caster sugar, plain flour, vanilla, sour cream, eggs and extra yolk until light and fluffy.
-
Step 5Using a spatula, gently fold in half the raspberries and pour over the top of the biscuit base.
-
Step 6Bake for 40 minutes and then check. Cheesecake should be set but slightly wobbly in the middle. If it appears too runny after this time, continue to bake and check every 5 minutes. Leave in the pan to cool.
-
Step 7Place the remaining raspberries into a saucepan with the icing sugar and raspberry jam. Heat until the juice starts to come out of the fruit and is slightly thick.
-
Step 8Remove from heat and then mash with a fork or potato masher.
-
Step 9Sieve the raspberry mixture, then pour over the cheesecake in pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
-
Step 10Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Recipe Notes
This recipe can be made with any berries you wish such as strawberries or mixed berries.
I have adjusted this recipe to make the topping slightly sweeter and have included more butter for the base as suggested by one of the reviewers.
