For the biscuit base
- 300 g Digestive biscuits
- 100 g Butter or baking spread melted
For the cheesecake topping
- 600 g Full fat cream cheese
- 2 Eggs large
- 115 g Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 400 g Apricot jam or other flavour
Grease and line a 12" x 9" tin, pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/350F/Gas Mark 4
Use a food processor to make fine crumbs out of the digestive biscuits. You could also smash them in a bowl with a rolling pin
Add the melted butter to the biscuit crumbs and mix well. Press the mixture into the lined tin and bake for 10 minutes
To make the filling, whisk together the cream cheese, caster sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract using an electric whisk or stand mixer
Pour the filling over the base, then add blobs of the apricot jam all over. Use a butter knife to swirl it around
Bake for 30 minutes until it has set fully and only has a slight wobble. Leave to cool fully, then chill in the fridge
To serve, cut into squares. Keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days
