Method

Soak the sultanas in the lemon vodka overnight.

Crush the crackers into a bowl and mix with melted butter and icing sugar.

Press the cracker mixture into the base of a 23cm spring-form cake tin.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Blend ricotta, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla seeds in a food processor until smooth.

Drain the sultanas and stir them into the cheese mixture in a clean bowl.

Spoon the mixture onto the base and cover the top with poppy seeds.

Bake for one hour until the surface is slightly wobbly in the center.

Cool the cheesecake and serve with vodka-infused whipped cream.
