Heat oven to 350°F Line the bottom of a 9in springform tin with greaseproof paper.
Tip the crackers and melted butter into a food processor, then blitz to make fine crumbs. Press into the tin and chill.
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 slight wobble.
