2. Make the 2 pieces biscuits to fine crumbs.
3. Add one tablespoon biscuit crumbs to the melt vanilla filling and mix it.
4. Spread on top of the baked cheesecake, cover the whole top layer.
5. The last using a small sieve, spread the fine crumbs biscuits on top of the vanilla filling.
6. Chill in a fridge for more then 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Note: 

Open the oven door ajar is let the cheesecake cool down gradually. But remember don't keep it too long in the oven because moist will develop at the bottom of the pan.

Remember don't over beat the mixture.

The water bath bake is to let the cheesecake from cracking and moist texture. Have try to bake without water bath but result is not good as water bath.

Remember , when slicing the cake need to dip the knife in warm water and clean it after every slice.
