Press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of a 15cm round pan to create an even layer.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Add in the sugar, corn starch, and mix until well combined.

Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the pan.

Bake in a preheated oven until set and the top is lightly golden, ensuring no cracks form on the surface.
