Ingredients

Base
  • 250g store-bought plain sweet biscuits
  • 125g unsalted butter, melted
Filling
  • 500 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup Capilano Pure Honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1½ cups thickened cream, cold
  • Optional: fresh figs, to decorate
  1. Grease and line the base of a 22–24 cm springform tin.
  2. Place the biscuits in a food processor and blitz to fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the base of the tin using the back of a spoon or glass. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the honey, vanilla and sea salt and beat again until fully combined and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cold cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the honey cream cheese mixture in two additions, using a spatula and light folding motions to keep the filling airy.
  5. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled base and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
  6. Just before serving, drizzle generously with extra Capilano Pure Honey and finish with fresh figs or berries.
