EASY NEW YORK CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together the biscuit crumbs and Demerara sugar. Add in the melted butter and mix well.
• Spoon the biscuit mixture into a 20cm spring-form cake tin lined with baking parchment. Use a metal spoon to press the biscuit crumbs down firmly and evenly. Chill in the refrigerator until set.
• In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk or a wooden spoon, beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla pod seeds or vanilla extract until well mixed.
• Fold in the double cream, mixing well.
• Spoon the cream mixture over the chilled biscuit base, making sure that there are no air bubbles. Smooth the top of the cheesecake with a palette knife or metal spoon.
• Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 1 hour until set.
• To serve, remove from the cake tin and cut into slices.
