Method
Step 1
Using a food processor, blitz the biscuits into a fine rubble, and then add the butter, pulsing until the mixture begins to clump. Press this mixture into the base of the tin, then pop in the fridge to chill.
Ingredients for this step
Custard creams(300g)
Butter (unsalted)(100g)
Step 2
To make the filling, gently stir the cream cheese with a wooden spoon to soften it, but be careful not to beat to hard as it will go runny and will no longer be of use.
Ingredients for this step
Cream cheese(500g)
Silver Spoon Icing Sugar(60g)
Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract(1 tsp)
Custard flavouring(30 drops)
Step 3
In another bowl or in a stand mixer, whisk the cream with the sifted icing sugar, vanilla and custard flavouring until it has soft peaks. Take care not to over whip it.
Ingredients for this step
Silver Spoon Icing Sugar(60g)
Custard flavouring(30 drops)
Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract(1 tsp)
Step 4
Gently fold the cream mixture into the cream cheese. Spread this over the biscuit base and then chill again for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Step 5
When you are ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the tin and decorate the cheesecake with more custard creams.

It tastes amazing. I used custard powder or you could use a packet of instant custard mix instead of custard drops. This has now scored higher than the toffee cheesecake I made last time!
