Baked Raspberry Cheesecake - Real Recipes from Mums

This Baked Raspberry Cheesecake is a very special looking dessert that is actually quite easy to make. Perfect for all sorts of occasions from a low key BBQ to a special dinner party.

Ingredients (serves 12)

300g Plain sweet biscuits (I like to use a mix of butternut snaps + milk arrowroot)
1/2 cup Unsalted macadamia nuts
200g Butter, melted
500g Cream Cheese, softened or use the spreadable variety
150ml Sour Cream
150ml Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 tsp Vanilla Extract or Essence
4 Eggs
1 cup Fresh or frozen raspberries

Method

Preheat your oven to either 165 degrees celcius (non fan forced) or 150 degrees celcius (fan forced) and grease or spray a 22cm round springform cake pan or similar.
Place the biscuits and the macadamia nuts into a food processor and blitz until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place in a large ziplock bag and crush the biscuits and nuts with a rolling pin.
Mix the melted butter into the biscuit crumb mixture and combine well.
Press the mixture into the cake pan and ensure you have an even layer on the base and up the sides of the pan (the layer should be able 1/2 cm thick). Make sure you don't go all the way to the top of the pan - leave a thumb's gap. Place into the refrigerator to chill.
Please all other ingredients (except the raspberries) into the cleaned food processor and blend until well combined and the mixture is super smooth and lump-free.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the pan and tap gently to remove any air bubbles.
Bake in the oven for approx 45mins. Remember to rotate a couple of times during cooking to ensure even cooking/browning. If the top of the cheesecake starts to brown too quickly, reduce the temperature just a little.
You'll know the cheesecake is cooked when the mixture feels just set but with a tiny little wobble. Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside, set the oven door ajar and sit for 2 hours.
Serve later the same day or refrigerate overnight for a chilled and quite firm cheesecake. Top with raspberries and a sprinkle of icing sugar. Serve on its own or with cream and/or ice cream.
