Honey cheesecake slice

Light, creamy cheesecake and a beautiful subtle sweetness from the honey… This gorgeous cheesecake is a total winner! It’s the perfect afternoon tea treat and is a cinch to make, too. Ginger and cinnamon bring a nice little hum of warmth to the flavour, while the cheesecake itself is so smooth and moorish. The recipe uses brown sugar instead of caster sugar too, so the flavour is even better than usual. Serve with a few fresh berries if you have them and a nice cuppa. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups sweet biscuit crumbs
• 70g butter, melted
• 750g block cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 eggs

Method
