Baked Cheesecake with Mixed Berries

• 80-100g Digestive Biscuits, crushed
• 100g Butter, unsalted
• 300g Curd Cheese
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 Lemon, juice and grated zest
• 2 heaped tbsp Icing Sugar, sieved
• 350g Mixed Red Berries

Grease a 27cm flan ring and a baking sheet or springform cake tin.

Melt the butter and mix in the biscuit crumbs.

Press into the base of the prepared ring/tin.

Place the curd cheese in a mixing bowl and break it down before adding the egg, lemon and sugar.

Beat well until evenly blended and turn onto the crumb base.

Bake 180C Gas 4 for 20 mins.

Cool then refrigerate, preferably overnight.

Plate up and arrange the mixed berries on the top.

Serve with a red fruit coulis if desired.

Tips

A fruit topping is nicest but an alternative could be a mix of sour cream and whipped double cream, sprinkled with toasted flaked almonds.
70g of raisins could also be added to this alternative before being baked.
