Show more commentsThis is my go to recipe. It’s so easy and is always amazing.
I've made this about 5 times now, each time to reactions of delight and awe. I have the following tips for those who have found their mixture too runny, as it's easily fixed: - Be sure to use double cream (it should still be a pouring consistency, but with a higher fat content than single cream) as it thickens better with the addition of the lemon. If you are using single cream I would recommend adding a little extra cream cheese (perhaps another 50g) and perhaps a little extra lemon juice (the acid thickens the cream). - Use an amount of lemon juice by volume rather than by the number of lemons (as lemons can vary greatly as to how much juice they yield). Another commenter suggested 1/2 cup and I agree. Buy more lemons than you think you'll need.
Next time I make it I will try it with lime (they are in season here at the moment and , and a splash of rum, and a bit of ground ginger in the base!
This was so great to prepare for a work birthday. I used the dark chocolate digestives which were amazing and I added 1 passion fruit in place of 1 1/2 of the lemon and put some passion fruit on top. Sooo amazing!!
BEST cheesecake ever. I have literally made this once a month. Goes great with passion fruit on top. Unfortunately doesn't work as well with light cream cheese or cream (bit too runny) keep the fat in!
This is so good! I made it for my son's sixth birthday party today, at his request, and it was a winner. I only had half the amount of cream, so I substituted the rest for double-cream Greek yoghurt and it worked out brilliantly.
This cheesecake is delicious! I added ginger biscuits to the digestive base - even more delicious, use about 6-8, you will need a little more melted butter
I made this for my family and they loved it. It was easy, fun, and tasty. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I love it.
This is the second time I have made this and both times I added a couple of dessertspoon's of Lemon curd and it tasted wonderful I also made the base from ginger nuts instead of digestive biscuits.
Fabulous recipe, I always follow it to the letter - you can't improve on perfection. Always goes down a storm, just add fresh strawberries and blueberries for a wow dessert :-)
made this recipe with mascarpone and I also whipped the cream. I put a smear of lemon curd between biscuit and filling, the end result was yummy, very lemony and so easy to make.
It is the lemon juice that makes it set. Just add a little more and it will start setting. I used about half a cup. Linda
Delicious, sadly it was so runny - I double checked to see if I'd not followed the instructions correctly - believe the double cream should of stated it should of been whipped? Otherwise it was a nice flavour, but was more like yoghurt consistency - rather than cheesecake!
