Ingredients
Scale
300 g shortbread biscuits
100 g unsalted butter
600 g full-fat cream cheese
100 g icing sugar
300 ml double cream
75 ml lemon juice about 3 lemons
150 ml double cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
Lemon slices
Lemon zest
Instructions
Crush the shortbread biscuits until fine and melt the unsalted butter, then mix them together to form the base. Press this base firmly into the bottom of an 8 inch or 20 cm deep springform tin.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth. Gradually whisk in the double cream, then pour in the lemon juice while continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens well, folding gently to even it out.
Spread the cheesecake mixture over the biscuit base and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 5 to 6 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set.
To decorate, whip the additional double cream with icing sugar until it holds shape, pipe this over the cheesecake, then garnish each slice with lemon slices and sprinkle lemon zest on top.
