It's a winner for serving up to ten people and can be knocked up in less than two hours. Here's what you'll need and how to make it. Ingredients. Method. Firstly, grease a 23cm loose-bottomed round cake tin and line it with parchment paper, making sure it fits snugly into the nooks. Then, crank your oven up to 160C, bash the digestives in a bag until they're fine crumbs.
Melt the butter in a pan, chuck in the biscuits and sugar, give it a good stir and press it down into the base of your tin. Pop it somewhere cool to firm up while you crack on with the filling. For the cheesecake bit, lob the butter, sugar, cheese, flour, lemon zest, juice, and egg yolks into a big bowl and beat it until it's silky smooth.
Gently fold the lightly whipped double cream into the mixture using a spatula, then whisk the egg whites until they're stiff and fold them into the mix. Pour this onto the biscuit base and level the surface with a spatula. Bake it in a preheated oven for about an hour, then switch off the oven and let it cool inside for another hour. After removing the side paper, spread whipped cream on top and scatter fruits over it.
If desired, serve with a dusting of icing sugar. If you want ideas and inspiration to plan your next UK adventure plus selected offers and competitions, sign up for our 2Chill weekly newsletter here.
