Speculoos cheesecake

Preparation stepsTotal time: 4 hr 40

1. 1

   Base5 min

   

   Crush the cookies, mix with the melted butter and press into a pan. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described.

2. 2

   Filling5 min

   

   Beat the cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Add the delicate ingredients off the heat, a little at a time, lifting the mixture from the bottom up so it does not collapse. Amounts for this step: 400 g cream cheese; 1 tsp vanilla.

3. 3

   Bake30 min

   

   30 minutes at 160°C. Preheat the oven to the temperature given, with the rack in the middle. Only open the door if the recipe says so: the dish is ready when it is golden and the time is up.

4. 4

   Chill4 hr

   

   4 hours in the fridge before unmolding. Press plastic wrap onto the surface to stop a skin forming, and chill it away from the back wall of the fridge. This rest is part of the total time.
