Lemon Cheese Cake

You will Need

350 g full fat cream cheese
75 g sugar
grated rind of 1 lemon
juice of 2 lemons
30 ml cold water
10 to 15 g gelatine (available in packets approx. that size)
150 ml double cream

Method

  1. Beat the cheese, sugar, lemon rind and juice in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Place the water in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the gelatine, stir and leave for 2-3 mins.
  3. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir until dissolved. Beat into the cream cheese mix.
  4. Whip the double cream and fold in. Pour the mixture over the base and chill.
  5. Top with flake or chocolate curls.

Notes

  1. I use my standard cheesecake/banoffee base of 200g crushed digestives, mixed into a melted mix of 100g butter & 50g soft brown sugar but the recipe suggests you could also use chocolate digestives.
  2. It's from a freezer cookbook, so can be frozen.
