Heat oven to 150C/ 130C fan/
Gas 2 and line 9 holes of a muffin tin with muffin cases.
Put the biscuits in a food bag and crush to a fine crumb
using a rolling pin or use a food processor, then mix with
the butter. Spoon into the muffin holes and use the back
of a spoon to press the biscuits into a compact layer.
-
Whisk the cream cheese,
buttermilk, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a jug. Pour onto
the biscuit bases, filling them right to the top. Bake for
20 mins, then turn the oven off and leave the cheesecakes
inside for 2hrs, or until the oven is completely cool,
chill for at least 3 hrs or overnight if you can.
-
Heat the oven to 180C/160C
fan/ Gas 4. Toss the stone fruit, honey, wine and vanilla
in a roasting tin and cook for 15 mins, until the fruit
starts to soften and caramelise in places. Add the berries
to the tin and cook for another 2-3 mins until they look
shiny and juicy. Leave to cool. When you are ready to
serve, place the cheese cakes on a platter or individual
plates, top each one with a spoonful of jam and some of
the fruits, drizzling over any juices from the tin.
