Cheesecake is farily easy dessert to make. Now in this recipe I added a little more than it probably needed but you can decide what you want to use or not. You can simply make the cheese cake and top it with your favorite jam or fruit.

We are on the tail end of the grape season so this is one you can still make until the next season rolls around. I also decided to serve the cheese cake with a grape sorbet which was really refreshing.

You want another level of flavor? Try topping your cheesecake with a lemon curd, leaving a totally addictive dessert! Here is the recipe for burrata cheesecake with grape sorbet and lemon curd. I hope you enjoy it!

How to make the crust

Place butter, flour, oats, walnuts and sugar into a food processor. Pulse until all of the ingredients come together like wet sand, you can add a splash of water if need be. Remove the dough from the processor and place onto a half sheet pan.
Using a sheet of parchment paper, press down on crust to make a smooth consistent layer along the whole lenght of the baking sheet. If you want to use a spring form pan feel free to use that as well. Place in a preheated 350 degrtee oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly brown. Take out and allow to cool slightly while you make the cheesecake batter.

How to make cheesecake
