Cheesecake

Krissy Gibson's Cheesecake

INGREDIENTS:

Crust:
200g. ground digestives
100g. melted butter
65g. sugar
Pinch of cinnamon
 
Filling:
280g. Philadelphia cream cheese, room temperature
100g. caster sugar
1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
10mls. vanilla
 
Topping:
200mls. sour cream (1 container)
30g. sugar
5mls. vanilla
 
METHOD:

1). Combine ingredients for crust and press into 9” pie pan, shaping up the sides. Set aside.
2). With an electric hand mixer, combine the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Do not let it whip until fluffy. Add the egg and egg yolk, along with the vanilla. Mix again, being careful not to overmix. We want as little air in the mixture as possible.
3). Bake for 30-35 minutes at 140 degrees Celsius on a low fan.
4). While the cheesecake is baking, make the topping by combining the sour cream, sugar and vanilla with a whisk. Try to avoid air bubbles as much as possible.
5). After the cheesecake has baked for 35 minutes, remove it from oven and gently coat the top of the baked pie with the sour cream mixture. Do not pour all the topping on top in one place. It could create a sink hole.
6). Bake for 5 more minutes. Refrigerate and serve chilled.
