Lemon Cheescake
150g speculoos biscuits
50g melted butter
250g mascarpone
250g cream cheese
2 lemons: zest and juice
50g caster sugar (more if you don’t like it tart)
2 tsps agar agar powder dissolved in 100mls boiling water (if you used boiling water from a kettle you will need to bring the mixture back to the boil – stick it in the microwave for 30secs).
Crush biscuits, mix with melted butter. Put into a loose bottomed flan tin* and chill.
Beat the mascarpone, cream cheese and sugar together until there are no lumps. Add lemon juice and zest then cooled agar agar mix. Combine all ingredients, put onto biscuit base and chill for about an hour.
* or you can make individual ones like the one pictured (will make at least 6)
Humpbuckle Hint:
top with some lovely, tart, fresh fruit like slices of kiwi fruit, French of course, in season. Or strawberries or raspberries… or whatever you fancy
Having been invited to eat ‘ chez Andrea et Bruce ‘ last night I would like to shout out to the world that I ate that very cheesecake in the above photo and my goodness, what a delight! With just the right amount of sweet, tart and fruitiness, who could want more???
I highly recommend trying this recipe out and what a perfect way to end a spring or summer evening in La Creuse!!
ahh bless you Lucy, thank you. x
