Ingredients
8 oz. (2 cups) digestive biscuits (graham crackers), crushed

Details
Serves: 12
Method
Combine the crushed biscuits, 4 oz. (½ cup) of the sugar, butter and cinnamon in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch dish. Press into the bottom of the dish. Cook on HIGH for 2 minutes.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the eggs a little at a time, then add 8 oz. (1 cup) sugar and ½ teaspoon of the vanilla essence. Pour over the biscuit base.
Cook on HIGH for 15 minutes, giving the dish a quarter turn every 4 minutes. Combine the soured cream with the remaining sugar and vanilla essence and blend well.
Pour the mixture over the cheesecake, return to the oven and cook for 1 minute 15 seconds. Chill in the refrigerator.
Put this cake in the freezer for a few hours. It will then be easier to remove from its oblong pan for slicing.
