Start by making the crust of the cheesecake using crushed digestive biscuits.

Add cashew powder, which is ground cashews processed in a food processor, to the biscuit crumbs.

Incorporate melted ghee into the mixture and mix well to coat the crumbs.

Press the mixture into a 6-inch springform pan using a glass jar to form an even layer.

Chill the crust in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the cheesecake filling by making cashew paste from blended cashews until smooth.

Make a slurry by combining 1+1/2 tbsp of cornflour with 3/4 cup of heavy cream until lump-free.

In a large bowl, add 2 cups of softened cream cheese and smooth it out with a spatula.

Mix in 1/4 tsp of cardamom powder, the cornflour cream slurry, and the cashew paste until well combined.

Add 1+1/2 cups of sweetened condensed milk to the mixture and mix until smooth.

Preheat the oven to 170° C and line the sides of the baking pan with parchment paper.

Prepare a water bath by placing the cheesecake in a square pan filled with hot water up to 1 inch.

Bake the cheesecake in the oven for 40-45 minutes.

After baking, chill the cheesecake in the fridge overnight before demoulding.

Dress the cheesecake with silver leaf for decoration.
