For the base, either use a food processor to grind the biscuits or place the biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin. Mix the biscuit crumbs together with the butter. Line the base of the cake tin with baking paper and spread the mixture evenly over the base. Press down well using the back of a spoon and store in a cool place.

Carefully mix all the ingredients for the topping together and pour carefully onto the base in the cake tin. Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes in the lower half of an oven preheated to 150-160°C. Turn off the oven, open the door slightly and allow it to cool completely. Place the cheesecake in a refrigerator to cool for 3-4 hours or overnight, allowing it to set before serving.

For the sauce, cook all the ingredients until soft, puree and allow to cool.
