Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (325°F). Prepare a 23cm (9 inches) springform pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Pulse the Tennis biscuits in a food processor until fine crumbs. Mix with melted unsalted butter and press into the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Blend cream cheese and castor sugar in a stand mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract and whipping cream. Blend until fluffy.
  4. Pour cheesecake filling over the crust. Bake in a water bath for 50 minutes. Cool in the oven for 2 hours.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake overnight.
  6. In a saucepan, combine chopped guavas, sugar, and lime juice. Cook until thickened (10-15 minutes). Blend for smoother texture if desired.
  7. Remove cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with guava compote and garnish with fresh guava slices.
