Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Mix together the crushed biscuits and butter until well combined then tip into the base of a deep, 23cm loose-bottomed cake tin. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon and place in the fridge to chill.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the soft cheese, soured cream, caster sugar and vanilla powder in a large bowl and whisk together until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and whisk again until well blended.

Step 3

Arrange the blackberries on the biscuit base and dot with the lemon curd. Spoon over the cheesecake mixture. Sit the tin on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes until set and golden brown.

Step 4

Leave to cool in the tin then chill for at least two hours or overnight before dusting with icing sugar and serving.
