Base:
- 1/ cup flaked almonds
- ½ cup dextrose
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 2/3 cup coconut
- 50g butter, melted

Press mixture into the base of prepared tin. Bake until brown (approx. 10 minutes). Cool.
Filling:
- 500g cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups dextrose
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 3 eggs
- Vanilla essence
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Pinch salt

Preparing the cheesecake
Beat the cream cheese and dextrose together until smooth. Beat in the cornflour. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the vanilla, lemon juice, salt and sour cream and beat briefly to combine.
Pour the filling onto the prepared base. Bake in a cheesecake tin (place tin inside a baking dish and half fill with water) for 50 minutes. Turn off the oven, but do not open the door for a further hour. Chill and serve cold with cream or ice-cream.
