You don't have to use a spring form tin it just makes the removal of a cake easer to work with.
Filling:
250 gr Cottage cheese
750 gr cream cheese
25 gr sugar(caster)
zest of 1 lemon
5 ml Vanilla essence
100 gr white chocolate, melted
5 nr eggs (large)
300 gr double thick cream/whipping cream beaten till soft peak stage
Filling:
Combine the, cottage cheese, cream cheese, caster sugar, lemon zest, vanilla essence and whisk till smooth and mixed well.
Add the melted chocolate while it is still hot.
Note: the ingredients must not be fridge cold when you add the chocolate or the chocolate will solidify and split.
Add the eggs one at a time while whisking at a medium speed.
Add the whisked cream to the mix by folding it in to the mix.
Note: You can whisk the cream before hand and keep in the fridge till you need it but don't keep it too long as it will start to break down.
Note: Folding in the cream add 1/3 of the cream to the mix and whisk lightly then add the rest of the cream and using a figure of 8 motion fold in the cream up and over till it is mixed through.
Baking of the cheese cake:
Line the baking tin as noted above, you are going to want to wrap the outside of the baking tin in plastic film as well as tin foil so to make a water proof shell.
Place the base into the lined tin and pour the mix on top do not pour too much into the tin as it should be at a maxum hight of +- 1cm below the rim of the baking tin.
Place the tin with the mix into a water bath the water should not exceed 1/4 - 1/3 the way up the side of the baking tin. (refer to link 3 below)
The water in the water bath should be hotter that tepid water but you should be able to hold your finger in for about 7 - 10 seconds.
You are going to want to cook the cake for -+ 45 min to 60 min at around 160 deg C or till cooked,
You will know when it is cooked when when it has a light golden brown colour and when you insert a knife and comes out clean.
