Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed chocolate digestive biscuits
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3 (8 oz) packs cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries)
  • Mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix crushed biscuits and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the pan and chill for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beating just until combined.
  4. Add sour cream, cornstarch, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until fully smooth without overbeating.
  5. Pour the filling over the crust and tap gently to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until center is just set with a slight jiggle. Turn off oven and let cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour with the door slightly open.
  7. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, top with fresh berries and garnish with mint.

Notes

  • Let all ingredients come to room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Chill overnight for best texture and clean slices.
  • Use a warm knife for perfect cuts every time.
