  Pulverize 200g digestive biscuits in a food processor, then add 50 g ground almonds, 90 g melted butter and a ½ tsp ground cinnamon.  
Pulse until well combined, then press into a 23 cm springform tin.  Bake in a 160°C oven for 5 minutes or so, then let cool.  For the filling, 
put 750 g ricotta and 250 g honey into a bowl and beat until smooth, then add 200 ml double cream, the juice of a lemon and 2 tsp vanilla extract
and beat until well combined.  Add 2 Tbs cornflour and beat that in.  Then add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating gently to combine after each is added.  
Wrap the pan in a large piece of kitchen foil, to ensure it is waterproof, then place in a roasting pan.  Pour the filling onto the biscuit crust 
in the springform pan, then add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come half-way up the sides.  Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, until the edge 
is set and there is still a jiggle in the centre.  Turn the oven off and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for another hour or so.  When cooled, 
chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, then remove from the pan.   I served this with a little stewed rhubarb, to add a touch of sharpness.
