Baked lemon cheesecake
















Fresh lemons 'rind' off this dessert beautifully! 

Ingredients (serves 12)

  • 250g plain sweet biscuits
  • 150g butter, melted
  • 500g cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup caster sugar
  • 3 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • Icing sugar mixture and double cream, to serve

 

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced. Grease a 6cm-deep, 20cm round springform pan. Process biscuits until finely chopped. Add butter. Process until combined. Press mixture over base and side of prepared pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon rind together until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until combined. Add lemon juice. Beat for 1 minute. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until filling is just set (mixture may wobble slightly in centre, but will firm on standing). Cool in oven with door slightly ajar. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until cold. Dust with icing sugar and serve with cream.
