Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 lb butter cookies, crushed
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 lbs cream cheese
  • 1 oz chai latte powder
  • 3 None eggs
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10 inch diameter springform pan. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the crushed cookies. Spread over the bottom of the pan and press down. Chill.
  • In a bowl, beat the sugar, cornstarch and 1/3 of the cream cheese. Beat in the chai powder and remaining cream cheese. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Spread over the cookie base.
  • Set the springform pan in a roasting pan and pour in hot water so that it comes about 1 inch up the side of the springform pan. Bake for 50 mins-1 hour, until the top is set but still jiggles. Allow to cool for 1 hour, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
  • In a bowl, mix together the sour cream, lemon juice and powdered sugar until thick and creamy. Spread over the cheesecake and chill until ready to serve.
