Step by step through the recipe
Ingredients
Makes:
1 cake (10 pieces)
Amounts are for the whole bake — choose ½, 1 or 2.
| 100 g | wholemeal butter biscuits |
| 100 g | speculoos |
| 140 g | flour |
| 80 g | icing sugar |
| 200 g | butter |
| 600 g | double cream cream cheese |
| 100 g | sugar |
| 1 Becher | crème fraîche |
| 2 Päckchen | vanilla sugar |
| 1 Stück | lemon (juice) |
| 3 Stück | eggs |
Preparation
- 1 Crush the biscuits finely, but don't grind them – they should be crumbly (put the biscuits in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin). Mix with 140 g flour, 80 g icing sugar and 200 g soft butter.
- 2 Grease the springform pan. Spread the dough mixture in it and press it down well (depending on how you prefer it, with or without a rim, put it in the freezer or fridge so that the base firms up before the topping goes on). Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
- 3 Mix about 600 g double cream cream cheese, 100 g sugar, crème fraîche, lemon juice, vanilla sugar and 3 eggs.
- 4 Take the base out of the freezer or fridge and spread the cream cheese mixture on top. Bake for 45 minutes in the oven, then let it cool down in the oven. The cheese only sets once it gets cold! So please, please don't keep baking after the 45 minutes! Put the cooled cake in the fridge overnight. That's how it tastes really good!
Notes & tips
Only crush the biscuits into crumbs, don't grind them – easiest in a bag with a rolling pin. The cake only sets once it is cold: please don't bake it for longer than 45 minutes. Let it chill overnight in the fridge, that's when it tastes best. If you don't want a rim, just press the dough mixture firmly onto the base only.
