INGREDIENTS (serves 10)
Cheesecake
Liquorice sauce
For the Cheesecake
Heat oven to 180C/fan. Line a 23cm springform tin with greaseproof paper.
Whisk all the other ingredients in a large bowl until completely combined, pour into the tin, then bake for 35-40 mins until the cheesecake has a uniform wobble.
Turn off the oven and leave the cake inside until cool. When it is completely cooled, remove it from the tin.
For the Liquorice Sauce
Put the liquorice, sugar and water into a pan on low heat until everything is dissolved. Turn up the heat and reduce it by half, until you have dark glossy syrup. Add a pinch of salt and set aside to cool.
To serve, slice the cool cheesecake, scatter with berries and drizzle over the sticky liquorice sauce. Enjoy!
