Cloudberry baked cheesecake

Okay, okay.  We'll share.  Here's the recipe for Bronte's baked cheesecake with cloudberry jam on top.  It's very lovely.

Cloudberry baked cheesecake

Cloudberry is a tart berry and compliments the sweet flavour of this baked cheesecake very well.

200g ‘plain biscuits – most can be used, we prefer Hobnobs.

80 g melted butter

800g full fat cream cheese

180 g Caster sugar

4 eggs plus 3 egg yolks

3 tsp vanilla sugar

2 tsp lemon juice

300 ml sour cream (1 pot)

1/2 jar of cloudberry jam

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C degrees.  Grease a 23cm spring form tin.  Sit the tin in foil – and wrap the foil all around the side to prevent water from seeping in (the best way to bake a cheese cake is to bake it in a bain marie).

Crush the biscuits and combine with the melted butter.  Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the tin. 

In a mixer, put the cream cheese, 160g of the sugar, the eggs, yolks and 2 tsp vanilla sugar as well as lemon juice and mix well until combined and smooth (don't overmix it).  Pour over the biscuit base.

Put the cake tin, which is tightly wrapped in the foil, in a larger tin or roasting tin and pour boiling water all around it, till about half way.  Bake for 1 hour exactly.

Whisk the sour cream, the rest of sugar and vanilla and pour over the cake and return to the oven for a further 8-10 minutes.  Remove from oven and roasting tin (discard water).  Leave the cake alone for at least 4 hours – ideally longer – to set properly- before opening the spring form (or else the cake may well crack).

When completely cool, dust with cocoa on top - and put the jam in a household plastic bag, cut the corner and pipe the jam carefully over the cake in lines (you dont need to cover the entire cake, just enough jam to ensure each bit gets a bit of jam).
