Helpful Tips

• Ensure all ingredients, especially the cream cheese and eggs, are at room temperature to achieve a smoother batter.
• Don’t skip the chilling step; it’s crucial for the cheesecake to firm up and the flavors to meld.

Substitutions/Variations

• Swap the digestive biscuits for graham crackers or ginger snaps for a twist in flavor.
• Substitute raspberries with blueberries or strawberries if you prefer.
• For a nutty crunch, sprinkle some crushed almonds or pecans on top.
