This is a Scottish twist on the cheesecake that makes a base out of a mix of digestive biscuits and shortbread and uses a lemon-flavoured no-bake topping of cream cheese and cream.
Ingredients:
75g
digestive biscuits, finely crushed
75g
shortbread, finely crushed
3 tbsp butter, melted
3 1/2 tbsp caster sugar
200g cream cheese (or you can use my
home-made cream cheese recipe to prepare your own)
5 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
120ml double cream, whipped
sliced fresh strawberries, to garnish (optional)
Method:
Crush the biscuits either in a food processor or by placing in a bag and hitting with a rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl then mix with the melted butter and 3 1/2 tbsp caster sugar. Stir until completely combined then press the biscuit mix into the base of an 18cm diameter springform cake tin, ensuring you press the mix slightly up the sides as well as into the base. Transfer to a refrigerator and chill until needed.
In the meantime, beat the cream cheese until smooth then add the remaining sugar and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly then whip the cream until stiff and fold into the cream cheese mix. Spread this over the prepared biscuit base then transfer the cheesecake to the freezer and freeze for 1 hour.
Transfer to a refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform cake tin, transfer to a serving plate and garnish with the sliced strawberries (if desired).
