Wonderful white chocolate cheesecake

Preheat the oven to 160C/gas 3.

Grease and line the base of a 20cm deep springform cake tin with non-stick paper.

To make the base; melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat. Stir in the crushed biscuits and press evenly over the base of the tin. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.

To make the filling; break the white chocolate into a bowl and melt over a pan of hot water (do not allow the chocolate to become too hot), stir occasionally with a spoon until runny and smooth.

Whisk the cream cheese and eggs together in a large bowl until smooth.

Add the soured cream and vanilla and whisk again until completely smooth with no lumps.

Stir in the melted chocolate and mix together.

Pour into the tin and spread evenly over the chilled base.

Bake for about 45 minutes until firm around the edges and just set in the middle.

. Remove from the oven. Using a small palette knife run the knife around the edge of the tin and then allow to cool and chill.

. Remove the outside ring and lift the base onto a serving plate.

. To serve; dust with cocoa powder and decorate with the strawberries or raspberries.
