Ingredients
 

  • Base
  • 1 pkt sweet biscuits crumbed (I used scotch finger)
  • 80gms melted butter
  • Filling
  • 500gms cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 300ml sour cream
  • 375ml lemon/lime curd (I made my own and recipe is on this website)

Instructions
 

  • Combine biscuit crumbs and melted butter. Will look a little crumbly but don't be tempted to add more butter as it will press down and moisture will also be added from topping.
  • Press in a tin lined with alfoil and then baking paper, this will make it easier to get out of your tin later without the baking paper ripping.
  • Chill.
  • Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add eggs and beat till smooth.
  • Fold in sour cream.
  • Fold in curd, keeping some aside.
  • Pour into tin then swirl rest of curd on the top.
  • Put a couple of inches of water in sc then a rack or scrunched up foil balls.
  • Place tin in sc making sure it isn't in water then cook on high with tea towel under lid for 3hrs or until centre doesn't have a watery consistency when knife is placed in.
  • This has a tarty taste so if you don't like that replace lemon/lime curd with caramel, chopped fruit or whole berries :)
