Method
 

Steps:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust - Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Crush the digestive cookies or graham crackers in a food processor until fine. Mix with melted butter and a pinch of fleur de sel.
  2. Step 2: Form the Crust - Spray the springform pan with cooking oil. Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan and bake for about 10 minutes. Cool.
  3. Step 3: Make the Filling - In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, ricotta, quark, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla seeds. Beat until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Add the Eggs and Flavorings - Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in orange zest and fleur de sel until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Bake the Cheesecake - Pour filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes until edges are set. Cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  6. Step 6: Prepare the Raspberry Sauce - In a saucepan, combine raspberries, water, and sugar. Cook until bubbling. Mix corn starch with warm water, stir into the sauce, and cook until thickened.
  7. Step 7: Chill the Cheesecake - Transfer cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Step 8: Serve - Remove cheesecake from the pan, drizzle with raspberry sauce, slice, and enjoy!

Notes
