Recipe's preparation

To Make Cheese Cake

Grease and Line a 22 cm round springform tin

 200g Sweet Biscuits (eg Arnotts Nice)

 80g Butter

 250g sugar (includes 70g for Berry topping)

 750g Cream Cheese (I used my own, Thermie Made Cream Cheese - see my albums under Thermo Tips)

 2 1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste

 2 Eggs

 200g Natural Yoghurt

 140g Berries of Choice (I used Blackberries)

 

 Place all 250g sugar into TM Bowl. Grind, speed 9 / 10 seconds. Set aside.

 Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius

 Place Biscuits into TM Bowl, lock lid and turbo several times until they have reduced to crumbs.

 Add Butter. Melt for 2-5 mins / 50 degrees / speed 1. Mix just until combined - time will vary depending on how cold your butter is before starting.

 Press biscuit mixture into tin. Use MC upside down to press flat into tin. Chill.

 Put into TM Bowl, 500g cream cheese, 95-100g reserved sugar, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste. Mix on speed 5 / 5-6 seconds.

 Add Eggs one at a time through hole in lid while mixing on speed 3 - mix until just combined.

 Tip mixture onto chilled base and bake for 20 minutes.

 Cool for 5 minutes.

 Mix remaining Cream Cheese, 80g reserved sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste on speed 3 until smooth. Do not over mix as this can cause cracking.

 Add Yoghurt, Mix on speed 3 / 5 seconds.

 Add to Cheesecake. Give tin a light "jiggle" to level off.

 Bake for a further 15 - 20 minutes. Until just a little wobbly in the centre.

 Turn oven off and allow to cool in the oven with the door slightly open.

 Chill for approx. 1-2 hours.

 Prior to serving, mix berries and remaining sugar in TM for 5 mins / 90 degrees / speed 3-4.

 Pour over top of cheesecake.

 Enjoy !
