Instructions
Line an 8-inch springform cake pan with baking parchment, by clamping a square of parchment in place. Add the Custard Cream biscuits into a food processor, and blitz until they form a sandy-like crumb. Add the biscuit crumbs to a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre then pour in the melted butter. Save 50g of the biscuit crumbs for later. Mix together until well combined until the crumb mixture is like a wet-sandy texture. Then pour the mixture into the lined springform pan. Level-off the crumb mixture with the back of a spoon, pressing down to compact the base and smooth out to the edges. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Read my Top Tips and FAQs in the post above for some really helpful hints and tips to make this recipe successfully.
Your cheesecake will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer. When freezing make sure you wrap it well with cling film or plastic wrap, and then a layer of aluminium foil to prevent ice crystals forming in the filling. Remember to allow the cheesecake to thaw before serving.
Use a springform cake pan so you can release your cheesecake without running the risk of damaging it in the process.
Full-fat cream cheese is a must – a traditional cream cheese, either a block or something like Philadelphia. Don’t be tempted to overbeat your cream cheese, it will slacken and your filling won’t set properly.
Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid any potential lumps that you might get if it is too cold.
Whip double or heavy cream so it forms soft, thick peaks, but be careful not to overwhip it. Double cream tends to be quite stable when whipped, but it can vary depending on the type of cream available in your country.
Too runny? – If your cream is not whipping up or seems too runny, try using less cream and more cream cheese. And remember don’t overbeat your cream cheese!
