Cheesecake

recipe

• Step 1
  Crush the cookies. Tip: place them in a freezer bag, close it removing any air from the bag, then tap them with a rolling pin or frying pan.
• Step 2
  Melt the butter in the microwave. Add the crumbled cookies to it, along with a pinch of salt. Mix.
• Step 3
  Using a cake pan that has removable edges (otherwise place a sheet of baking paper on the bottom), pour in the mixture and firmly press it down with the bottom of a glass. Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes.
• Step 4
  Meanwhile, scrape out the inside of the vanilla bean using the tip of a knife.
• Step 5
  In a large bowl, make the cheesecake by mixing: 600g cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, cream, and sugar, until you have a homogeneous texture.
• Step 6
  Once the cookie base is pre-baked, remove it from the oven and pour the cheesecake mixture on top. Return to the oven for 30 minutes at 170°C.
• Step 7
  Meanwhile, make the frosting by mixing the rest of the cream cheese, icing sugar and orange blossom until you get a smooth paste. Cover and put in a cool place.
• Step 8
  Once the cheesecake is cooked, leave it to cool and then place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
• Step 9
  Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the cake pan. Spread the icing on top, serve, it's ready! Option: you can also add some lemon zest or serve your cheesecake with a red fruit coulis.
