BAKED CHEESE CAKE

                           BAKED  cheese cake

      Crust:

      2 cups digestive biscuits or hob nobs or finely crushed vanilla wafers (process whole cookies in a food processor until they are crumbs)

      1/4 cup granulated white sugar

      1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

      Filling:

      32 ounces (1 kg) cream cheese, room temperature (use full fat, not reduced or fat free cream cheese)

      1 cup granulated white sugar

      3 tablespoons maida

      5 eggs, room temperature

      1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

      1 tablespoon lemon zest(optional)

      1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

      Tips: Sometimes the surface of the cheesecake cracks. To help prevent this from happening do not overbeat the batter, especially when creaming the cheese and sugar.

      Another reason for cracking is overbaking the cheesecake. Your cheesecake is done when it is firm but the middle may still look a little wet.

      preperation for crust:

      greese the spring form with any oil or buter... In a bowl combine the biscuits crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the crumbs evenly at bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of the springform pan. refrigerate while you make the filling.

      preperation of filling:

      preheat oven atto 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) with rack in center of oven

      In bowl with electric mixer place the cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth (about 2 minutes), Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well (about 30 seconds) after each addition. Add the whipping cream, lemon zest, vanilla extract and beat until well unite. Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour in the filling. Place the cheesecake pan on a larger baking pan and place in the oven.

      Bake for 15 minutes and then lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and continue to bake for about another 1 hour or until firm and only the center of the cheesecake looks done. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack.
