How to make baked cheesecake with butterscotch sauce topping

This recipe is a Nigella Lawson recipe, we did have a problem with the biscuit base going a little soggy so we tweaked this recipe and added a layer of white chocolate between the base and the cheesecake mixture which helped to keep the base crunchy and added a lovely dimension to the recipe

This cheesecake is a baked cheesecake but unlike traditional cheesecakes it has a biscuit base, the base is made of hobnobs and in order to ensure it stays crisp we have added a thin layer of white chocolate between the base and the cheesecake. The creamy cheese layer is made with double cream, cream cheese, eggs and sugar. The cheesecake is flavoured with vanilla and apple schnapps, it is baked slowly in a bain marie, till it just sets and then is left to cool. When cooled the cheesecake is topped with a sweet apple schnapps butterscotch sauce
