  RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE  

Picture and recipe from here

What you need;
♥   8 digestive biscuits (or for that extra chocolatey flavour, use Oreos or something similar - mouthwatering!)
♥   50g butter , melted
♥   600g cream cheese
♥   2 tbsp plain flour
♥   175g caster sugar
♥  vanilla extract (vanilla-flavoured sugar is also a good option)
♥  2 eggs , plus 1 yolk
♥  142ml pot soured cream
♥  300g raspberries
♥  icing sugar

How-to;
1) Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Crush the biscuits in a food processor (or put in a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin). Mix with the butter. Press into a 20cm springform tin and bake for 5 minutes, then cool.

2) Beat the cream cheese with the flour, sugar, a few drops of vanilla, eggs, the yolk and soured cream until light and fluffy. Stir in half the raspberries and pour into the tin. Bake for 40 minutes and then check, it should be set but slightly wobbly in the centre. Leave in the tin to cool.

3) Keep a few raspberries for the top and put the rest in a pan with 1 tbsp icing sugar. Heat until juicy and then squash with a fork. Push through a sieve. Serve the cheescake with the raspberry sauce and raspberries.
