Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). In a food processor, crush the ginger nut biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs, or use a rolling pin for a manual approach. Combine the crushed biscuits with melted unsalted butter, mixing until the mixture feels like wet sand. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a springform cake tin, then bake for 10 minutes until set. Remove and let cool.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature full-fat cream cheese until it’s completely smooth. Gradually add the runny honey and cornflour, mixing briefly until well combined. Carefully incorporate the large eggs, one at a time, ensuring to mix gently and just until combined after each addition. This creates a luscious filling for your honey cheesecake, perfect for a rich dessert.

Pour the creamy filling over the cooled biscuit base in the springform tin. Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour. The edges should appear set while the center retains a slight wobble — this indicates your honey cheesecake will have a perfect creamy texture once cooled.

Once baked, turn off your oven but leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually. This step helps prevent cracks from forming. Following this, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 5 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow flavors to meld beautifully.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, a splash of water, and lemon juice. Heat until the mixture becomes bubbly and turns a caramel brown color, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and stir in the double cream and flaky sea salt until well combined. Allow the salted honey topping to cool to room temperature before serving.

Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform tin and place it on a serving platter. Top with a generous layer of soured cream, followed by the cooled salted honey mixture, allowing it to drizzle beautifully over the cheesecake. Slice into pieces and serve, indulging in the delightful flavors of this honey cheesecake.
