Lightly grease a push pan.

Crush digestive biscuits in a strong bag until fine.

Melt butter and mix it with the crushed biscuits.

Press the biscuit mixture into the base of the pan evenly.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and golden caster sugar, mixing until well combined.

Add 1 whole egg and mix until incorporated, being careful not to overbeat.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl for an even mix.

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix.

Fold in whipped cream until smooth and creamy.

Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust and level it off.

Bake in the oven at 140°C fan for about an hour.

Let the cheesecake cool until stone cold, ensuring a slight wobble in the center.

Remove the cheesecake from the pan using a lifter and a knife.

Top with sour cream and decorate with summer fruits and mint.
