BASIC BAKED CHEESECAKE

Ingredients:

For the pie crust
250g Marie Biscuits or any other digestive biscuits, crushed or dry blended
125g of Planta, melted

* Combine both and press on to baking tray. If you are using a spring foam baking tray it`ll be easier to take out but if you are using a normal baking tray, pls line it with grease proof paper. Easier to invert it out of tray.
* Do not press crust mixture too hard or else you`ll find it difficult to cut the cake later on.
* Refrigerate the crust while we prepare the cheese filling.


For the cheese filling
2 packages (250gm each) philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 tspn vanilla essence
2 eggs
1 tblspn lemon juice(optional)
