Ingredients
- 100g ginger nut biscuits
- 25g butter
- 150g white chocolate
- 200g cream cheese
- 75ml sour cream
- 1 egg
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C. If using a metal tin, line its base with greaseproof paper. If using a ceramic dish, you can leave it unlined.
- Place the biscuits and butter into a food processor and pulse until the biscuits are ground but not into a powder – you want to be able to see some shards of biscuit in the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the tin and press down to form a smooth layer of biscuit that covers the base of the dish. Place in the fridge whilst you make the filling.
- Melt the chocolate either in a pan on a low heat or in the microwave (if using a microwave, be sure not to let it burn).
- Set this mixture aside to cool slightly whilst, in another bowl, you mix the cream cheese, sour cream and egg until completely smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate.
- Pour the creamy mixture onto the biscuit base and wrap the bottom of the tin/dish in foil so that it reaches at least halfway up the tin.
- Make a water bath for the cheesecake by placing it in a baking tray and pouring in enough hot water to reach just underneath the level of the foil, ensuring no water touches the tin.
- Place in the oven for about 25 minutes. The edges of the cheesecake should be set, and the middle still slightly wobbly.
- Leave to cool before diving in.
