INGREDIENTS
250g speculaas, crushed
125g butter, melted
500g cream cheese, softened
¾ cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced

METHOD
Preheat oven to 180C.
Grease 20cm springform pan with melted butter.
Combine biscuits and butter, mix well and press into springform pan, refrigerate.
Beat cream cheese on low till smooth and creamy. Do not over beat, as this will unnecessarily aerate the mixture.
Add caster sugar, extract and lemon, beat further 3 minutes to ensure smooth consistency.
Add eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
Add cream.
Pour mixture into pan, bake for 1 hour, or until set.
Check the cake after the fortieth minute, until set.
Turn heat off, leave cake in oven with a wooden spoon placed inside the oven door to cool cake slowly.
