Serradura Cheesecake

Makes one 6" round cake (I used a 7" one and that is why mine came out not high enough) :"> 
Ingredients
200g cream cheese
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 tbsps sugar
4 tbsps honey
2 tbsps gelatine powder
2 tbsps water
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tsps lemon juice
1 cup Marie biscuit crumbs
2 tbsps toasted walnuts ( I omitted this as i don't have it at that time)

Crust
120g Marie biscuit(crushed)
3 tbsps melted butter ( I added 1 more tbsp as I noticed they don't hold to the crumbs well enough)JMO

Method
1. To make the crust,mix the marie biscuit crumbs with the melted butter.Press the mixture firmly onto the bottom of the round cake mould.
2. Beat the whipping cream until stiff.Set aside.
3. Mix the gelatine powder with water and mix well.Heat it over a pot of simmering water until the gelatine dissolves.
4. Beat the cream cheese until smooth.Add sugar and beat well.Add honey and vanilla essence.Mix again.Add lemon juice and gelatine solution.Mix well and stir in the whipped cream.
5. Put 1/3 of the cheese filling into the mould over the crust.Sprinkle a generous layer of Marie biscuit crumbs on top.Pour another 1/3 of the cheese filling over the crumbs.Sprinkle another layer of Marie biscuit crumbs over the cheese filling.Pour the remaining cheese filling and Marie biscuit crumbs and top with chopped walnuts.refrigerate until set.Slice and serve.
( I added 1 tbsp of cocoa powder to the last layer of crushed biscuits)

*Tips For Success
The whipping cream should not be too cold.Otherwise ,it may make the gelatine solution lumpy when stirred together.
