Tips

Alternatively, you may line the baking dish with parchment or butter paper.
You may also choose to spread the biscuit mixture just on the base of the baking dish. In this case, you have to reduce the quantities of biscuits and butter by half of the original quantity.
You may check the degree of doneness of the cheesecake by inserting a toothpick at the center of the cheesecake. If the toothpick comes out clean with either nothing or just some tiny bits sticking to the toothpick then the cheesecake is baked/ cooked.
You may also use an electric blender to blend the ingredients instead of using a ladle or a spatula.
Move your hands or gadgets in one direction only while mixing the ingredients.
Make sure there are no egg shells present along with the broken whole eggs.
You may replace vanilla extract with vanilla essence a well in similar quantities.
