Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Add the melted butter, jaggery powder and crumbled digestive biscuits and mix well. To make a uniform layer, press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside for at least 15 to 20 minutes to chill.

Step 2: Prepare Cheesecake Filling

Get out a big bowl and whip the softened cream cheese until it's completely smooth. Add Mishti Doi and mix it well. In another bowl, combine the saffron-infused milk, sweetened condensed milk, cornflour, cardamom powder, and fresh cream. Whisk to combine. While combining the cream cheese and Mishti Doi, slowly add this mixture. One last thing to do is to add the eggs one by one while mixing.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

Get your oven preheated to 150°C (300°F). Using a spatula, spread the cheesecake filling over the cold biscuit foundation. Once the oven is ready, lay the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the borders are firm but the middle is somewhat jiggly. After turning off the oven, let the cheesecake cool for an hour with the door slightly open.
