    Push down the base with the back of a spoon.

  4. 4.

    Pop in the fridge whilst you make the filling.

  5. 5.

    Preheat the fan oven to 120 degrees C.

    In a large bowl whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, crème fraiche, vanilla and corn flour until smooth. Now whisk in the egg yolks.

    Pour the filling into the cheesecake mould and gently shake and wiggle the tin to even it out.

  8. 8.

    Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 1 hour 30.

    When the time is up the cheesecake should be slightly wobbly in the middle. Turn the oven off and leave to cook in the oven, this stops the cheesecake from sinking in the middle.

    Once cool you can transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours.
