Method

Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter, press into the lined cake ring and chill.
Beat the cream cheese with the sugar on low speed until smooth and lump-free.
Add the vanilla seeds and cornflour, then the eggs a little at a time.
Finish with the cream, mixing just until smooth.
Pour onto the base and bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 80 to 90 minutes, until set at the edges and slightly wobbly in the centre.
Cool in the turned-off oven, then refrigerate overnight before unmoulding.
