New York Cheesecake

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 200 g wholemeal biscuits
• 110 g butter
• 1 orange(s), grated peel
• 1 lemon(s), grated peel
• 400 g cream cheese
• 2 eggs
• 120 g sugar
• 1 vanilla pod(s), scraped pulp
• 400 g sour cream

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 4 hours

Preheat the oven to 170°C (top/bottom heat). Finely crumble the whole-wheat biscuits and mix with the melted butter. Add the orange zest and half of the lemon zest. Spread the biscuit mixture into a greased 26cm springform pan and press up the edges slightly. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then bake for another 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. In the meantime, beat the cream cheese with the eggs, sugar, vanilla bean paste, the remaining lemon zest, and the sour cream. Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the slightly cooled base and bake the cake at 190°C for another 30 minutes, checking for browning. Cover with aluminum foil if necessary. Let cool for at least 3 hours; the cake will firm up a little during this time.
