New York Cheesecake

Instructions

Make the base:

1. Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs.
2. Melt the Flora Light and mix with the crushed biscuits.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a cake tin lined with baking paper.
4. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

Make the filling:

1. Mix the quark, sweetener and vanilla flavouring using a hand mixer until smooth.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
3. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled biscuit base.
4. Bake at 180°C (Gas Mark 4) for 40–50 minutes, until the edges are set and the centre has a slight wobble.
5. Allow to cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate until completely chilled and set.
