Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 160˚C/140˚C fan-forced. Line the base of a 20cm spring form pan with baking paper.
2. Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Use an electric beater to beat at medium speed until smooth.
3. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until set and a round bladed knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
4. Turn oven off and leave cheesecake to cool in oven with the door slightly ajar.
5. Run a knife around the edge of cheesecake to loosen, remove the side of the pan and refrigerate cheesecake to chill until cold, preferably overnight.
VARIATION: Lemon Cheesecake | Replace the lime zest with zest of 1 lemon.
