With a sweet, buttery base and a smooth, creamy filling, is it any wonder the classic cheesecake has stood the test of time?

Ingredients:

Cheesecake

1 packet (250g/8.8oz) plain weet biscuits, crushed

125g (4.4oz) butter, melted

250g (8.8oz) cream cheese, at room temperature

1 x 395g (14oz) tin sweetened condensed milk

1/3 cup lemon juice

Berry Sauce

1 cup berries, fresh or frozen

1/3 cup sugar

1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

2 tbsp water

1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Method:

Grease a 20cm (8 inch) round dish.
Place the biscuits in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and mix together.
Press into the prepared dish. Chill while preparing the filling.
Beat the cream cheese, condensed milk and lemon juice in a large bowl until smooth, then pour over the biscuit base.
Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.
Slice and serve with the berry sauce.
To make the sauce, mix the berry sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan and simmer over a low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Pour into a bowl and let cool.
