BAKED CHEESECAKE

My first attempt- made a baked cheesecake.

Filling:
3 x 250 g smooth cottage cheese
250 ml fresh cream
3 eggs
175 ml (¾) cup of sugar
50 ml (3 heaped tablespoons) cake flour
5 ml (1 teaspoon) vanilla essence
Base:
1 packet Eat-Sum-Mor or Tennis biscuits. I only used Eat-Sum-Mor
3 tablespoons of melted butter

Crush biscuits and mix with melted butter.
Press crushed biscuits into a 24 cm spring form baking tin- side and bottom (the one with a loose bottom).
Mix all the ingredients for the filling and scoop into the biscuit lined baking tin.
Bake at 180 ºC for 35 to 40 minutes until set.
Cool the cake.

Tips:
If the cake crack on setting it was overbaked.
Cheesecake should have a slight wobble in the middle and the remaining heat in the cheese cake will set it.
Top with soften caramel or a topping of your choice.
