Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C, fan. Line 10" springform tin with greaseproof paper, ruffled on the side is ok, make sure it sticks above edge of tin by a couple of centimeters.

Step 2

Melt ingredients in bowl over a pan of water, once melted and mixed, allow to cool for 10-15 mins

Step 3

Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until mixture thickens

Step 4

Stir in flour until fully incorporated, add raspberries and mix in. Its ok if raspberries break down a little, but should still have some texture and not be mixed in completely

Step 5

Tip brownie mix into tin, roughly shake to flatten out

Step 6

Mix ingredients together, using a paddle on medium high speed, until mixture is smooth, not grainy

Step 7

Slowly mix in eggs, one at a time. 30 seconds between eggs, separate yolks last. Make sure to mix thoroughly or when baked, you will be able to taste the eggs. Medium speed, paddle.

Step 8

Add cream and vanilla, mix with paddle medium speed, for a couple of minutes. Stop and scrape down side to catch any un-mixed bits.

Step 9

Sprinkle flour on top and mix in slowly, until smooth. 1 minute or so. Mixture should be quite runny.

Step 10

Pour mixture into tin, on top of brownie mixture.

Step 11

Place in centre of preheated oven, for around 60 minutes. Centre of cheesecake should be very jiggly when shaken. Centre should probe around 58°C when just taken out of oven.

Step 12

Allow cheesecake to cool on the side, in the tin; this is very important to ensure it is cooked thoroughly. The centre should probe to 65-68°C at its hottest point (after 20 mins or so out of the oven, as it will get hotter).

Step 13

Allow to cool to room temperature, then serve. Centre should be very soft, almost creamy. If a firmer texture is desired, place in fridge for 4+ hours, although this will destroy the authenticity and you may as well have made a crappy new york cheesecake.
