Look, were not saying to have to bake a pie into a cheesecake - We're you saying you're missing out if you don't! Think about it, not only do you get a creamy cheesecake with the crumbly biscuit base BUT you also get a tasty cherry filling with some butter pastry... It's the best of both worlds.
Method
Preheat oven to 160ºC (Or 140ºC fan assisted), then line and grease a springform pan.
Combine crushed biscuits and melted butter, mix well then press to the base and sides of your prepared pan.
In a bowl add cream cheese, flour, vanilla, sugar and lime zest and beat. Once combined beat in one egg at a time till just combined.
Place your pie into the center of the biscuit base, then pour the cheesecake mixture all around and over the pie.
Bake for 55 mins, until the top is lightly golden. It should jiggle in the center slightly still.
Cool in the oven with the door partially open, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
