Ingredients:

  • 250g butter
  • 125g cream cheese
  • 250g ricotta cheese
  • 250g eggs (approximately 5 large eggs)
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar
  • 185g cornflour
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon rind
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Recipe Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).

  2. Prepare the Base:

    • In a bowl, combine biscuit crumbs and melted butter until well mixed.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 20cm springform tin, ensuring an even layer.
    • Chill the base in the refrigerator until needed.
  3. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and ricotta cheese together until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the eggs, caster sugar, cornflour, fresh lemon rind, and lemon juice to the cheese mixture.
    • Mix the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble the Cheesecake:

    • Pour the creamy filling over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake:

    • Place the assembled cheesecake in the preheated oven.
    • Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
  6. Chill and Serve:

    • Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature.
    • Once cooled, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for several hours or until completely cold.
    • Serve slices of Grandma’s Creamy Cheesecake with a dollop of lemon curd and a swirl of whipped cream for a delightful finish.

Recipe Notes:

  • For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
  • Be careful not to overmix the filling to avoid incorporating too much air, which can lead to cracking during baking.
  • To prevent cracks, you can bake the cheesecake in a water bath by placing the springform tin in a larger baking dish filled with hot water halfway up the sides of the tin.
  • This cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, allowing you to enjoy its luscious flavor over multiple servings.
