About

My Mum is a connoisseur of cooked cheesecake. No matter where in the world she goes, if it is on the menu, she will order it. I have made more cheesecakes than you care to imagine to come up with this recipe that she considers good enough to pass on!

Ingredients

200 g digestive biscuits, crumbed
100 g butter, melted
½

Method

Line a 20 cm cake tin with baking paper – simply fold at the edges as you go round. Do not cut it as you need to keep all the mixture inside as it cooks.
Mix the biscuit crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of the tin with a metal spoon.
