INGREDIENTS

• 15 digestive crackers, crushed
• 1 tablespoon butter
  1 tablespoon cannabutter
• 230g cream cheese
• 220g cups white sugar
• 180ml whole milk
• 4 eggs
• 200g cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 25g all-purpose flour
• 1 small bar of chocolate
• 10ml cream

HARDWARE

• Springform pan
• Mixing bowl
• Small saucepan

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preheat oven to 175°C.

Step 2: Grease springform pan with butter.

Step 3: Crumble the digestive crackers into a bowl. Use a pestle and mortar to really break it down, of you could use a food processor. Gently melt cannabutter and butter in a saucepan over low heat; pour over crumbled crackers and mix. Transfer the mix to the springform pan and press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Make sure the bottom is evenly covered, and - optionally - you can create a small upstanding rim against the sides of the pan.

Step 4: In a clean bowl, mix the sugar with cream cheese until smooth. Add milk and one egg, stir, then pour in another egg, stir, and so on until all the eggs are in the mixture. Now, add sour cream, flour, and vanilla; stir until smooth. Pour the mixture on top of the digestive cookie base present in the springform pan.

Step 5: Place the springform pan in the oven. After an hour, turn the oven off, and let the cheesecake sit there for 5 hours. This will prevent it from cracking. After 5 hours, place it in the refrigerator.

Step 6: Melt the chocolate in a saucepan. Add about the same amount of heavy cream as there is chocolate, and stir until you have a smooth mixture. Pour on top of the cheesecake into a shape of a cannabis leaf, and it’s ready for serving.

Note: The cheesecake lasts 5–6 days in the fridge and 6–8 months in the freezer.

Now that you’ve completed your Zativo New York cheesecake, you’re ready for a sweet trip. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this delicacy with your friends and indulge in an outlandish ride filled with sugar and magic.
