Lemon and Sultana Cheesecake

You can't beat an old fashioned cheesecake, especially when it's full of juicey sultanas and has a fresh lemon zingy taste.

• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 150  g  digestive biscuits
• 50  g butter
• 500  g mascarpone

• 2  egg yolks

1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees centigrade.
