Hello everyone. I feel so old now ( turned 27 last weekend). I am not into baking but had to make an effort because Kamile loves home made biscuits, cakes, buns. So I choose easy recipe. I like lemon cheesecake. The decorations were made by Kamile.

Ingredients

16 Hobnob biscuits  (makes the Base crunchy)
50g unsalted butter, melted
250g mascarpone  cheese
200 single scream
397g tin condensed milk
3 lemons, zested  and juiced

METHOD

1. Stir together the digestive biscuits and melted butter. Empty into a 23cm springform cake tin and press out level. Leave to chill in the fridge while you make the base. (Use a smaller tin if you want a thicker base.)
2. Mix together, really well, the mascarpone cheese, cream, condensed milk and lemon zest. Slowly add the lemon juice to the mix a bit at a time. I use an electric mixer and usually spend about 20 minutes mixing these ingredients together. I find the longer you mix, the thicker the topping gets in the bowl.
3. Pour onto your chilled base, then return to the fridge for a few hours for it to set.

Tip

I usually make it the evening before I need it and it sets perfectly.
So this is how I spend last Friday.
