The thickened cream includes gelatin and the icing sugar mixture contains cornstarch, both of which help to set this easy cheesecake.

Ingredients

  • 300g digestive biscuits

  • 120g butter, melted

  • ½ tsp flake salt

  • 1 vanilla bean

  • 500g cream cheese, softened

  • 100g icing sugar mixture

  • 300ml thickened cream

  • maple syrup, to serve

Method

  1. Step 1

    Lightly grease and line a 21cm x 11cm loaf tin with baking paper. Place the digestive biscuits into a press-seal bag and crush with the base of a glass. Tip the crushed biscuits into a bowl and add the butter and salt. Mix well and press into the base of the tin. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and combine with the cream cheese and icing sugar.

  2. Step 2

    Using electric beaters or a stand mixer, mix the vanilla, cream cheese and icing sugar together under low speed. Add the cream and whip until combined and thick. Pour over the base and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight. Remove from the tin and cut into bars. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve.

Adam’s tip: Pure icing sugar and icing sugar mixture are more or less interchangeable. The difference is that the mixture contains a tiny amount of
cornstarch to stop the sugar clumping.
