Directions

90 min.

1. Step

Preheat the oven to 160°C (320˚F), and grease an 8-inch springform tin.

2. Step

In a bowl, combine the digestive biscuits and melted butter. Press this mixture into the base of your prepared tin to form your biscuit base.

3. Step

In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese and sugar together until well combined.

4. Step

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, flour and salt.

5. Step

Pour this mixture over the biscuit base in the springform tin.

6. Step

Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until just set in the middle. The cheesecake should have a slight wobble – it will continue to cook as it cools.

7. Step

Once the cheesecake is cooked, switch off the oven and let it cool in the oven with the door slightly open to prevent cracking.

8. Step

Once cooled, transfer the cheesecake to the fridge and leave it to set completely for at least 3 hours before serving.
