Steps

1

Mix together the crushed biscuits, melted butter and 3 tablespoons of sugar, and press into the base of a springform tin. Put in the fridge for about half an hour to set solid.
2

Preheat the oven to 170c. While the oven is preheating in a large bowl mix together the remaining sugar, cornflour, cheese, egg yolks and vanilla extract using either an electric mixer or whisk.
3

Slowly pour in the double and sour cream, mixing continuously. Add the salt and lemon zest
4

Whisk the egg whites to a stiff peak and fold in the cheese mixture. Scoop the mix onto the chilled base and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
5

Do not open the oven while baking as this may cause the top to crack. Once the cheesecake is golden brown turn the heat off and leave in the oven for 2 hours with the door closed. Open the oven door and let the cheesecake cool for another hour.
6

Remove from the spring form base and dust with icing sugar before serving
