Cheesecake with sour cream tastes better than if you just use cream cheese. This cheesecake is flavoured with spruce sprigs to give it a straight-from-the-forest taste. Make sure you don't use too much - there should only be hint of spruce.
Preperation:
- Servings: Enough for a 26 cm springform pan

Melt the butter over a low heat and allow it to simmer until it turns light brown. Crush the biscuits with your fingers and mix in the butter. Add the spruce sprigs and mix well. Press the biscuit mixture evenly over the bottom of a 25 cm springform pan.
