Cheesecake

A magnificent dessert or cake that is so worth the effort to make yourself. The recipe in the photo was made with red fruit, but of course, you can choose whatever you like.

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Line the bottom of the springform pan with baking paper and grease the sides. Put a little flour in the pan and turn it around so that the flour sticks to the sides; this prevents sticking.
2. Crumble the biscuits. We did this with a food processor, but you can also put the crumbs in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
3. Melt the butter in the saucepan. As soon as the butter has melted, add the biscuit crumbs and stir well. Pour this mixture into the springform pan and press it firmly into the base.
4. Place the springform pan in the oven to bake the base of the cake, for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
5. In the meantime, make the rest of the cake.
6. Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy with the mixer, then slowly add the sugar. Beat the mixture together for about 3 minutes.
7. Add the eggs and the egg yolk to the cream cheese and beat the mixture together again until light and fluffy. Now add the flour and vanilla extract and mix well again.
8. Your mixture is now ready. As soon as the base is ready and out of the oven, you can pour the cream cheese mixture over the base.
9. Now set the oven to 150 degrees. Bake the cheesecake at this temperature for 1.5 hours; do not open the oven to prevent cracks on top.
10. After 1.5 hours, turn off the oven and leave the cake in the oven for another 2 hours to continue cooking.
11. Once the 2 hours have passed, place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to rest for 4 hours.
12. After this, you can decorate and serve the cake. We decorated the cake with forest fruit glaze (this recipe is with the eclairs) and fresh red fruit.
