Ingredients
75g unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
175g digestives, crushed
400g full-fat soft cheese
150g caster sugar
300ml pot Asda 50% Less Fat Crème Fraîche
2 large eggs, beaten
1tbsp vanilla bean paste
1tbsp cornflour
150g fresh raspberries
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease the base and sides of a 20cm springform tin with butter, then line with baking paper.
2
In a bowl, stir the melted butter into the crushed digestives, then press into the base of the prepared tin.
3
Beat together the soft cheese and 100g of the caster sugar in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the crème fraîche, eggs, vanilla bean paste and cornflour until combined.
4
Gently fold through ½ the raspberries then pour the mixture evenly over the cheesecake base. Top with the remaining raspberries.
5
Bake for 40-45 mins, until just set in the middle. Turn off the heat, open the oven door a little, then cool in the oven for 30 mins.
6
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the oven and set the grill to high.
7
Evenly sprinkle the remaining caster sugar over the top of the cheesecake, then place on a baking tray. Slide it under the grill, as close as possible to the heat. Grill for 2-3 mins, until the sugar starts to catch and turn brown. Keep an eye on it as it can go from golden to blackened within seconds!
8
Set the cheesecake aside to cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hr before serving in slices.
