Method
Preparation
- Line the base of a 20cm springform or loose-bottom cake tin with baking parchment.
- Blitz the digestive biscuits in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix with the melted butter until evenly coated.
- Firmly press the biscuit mixture into the base of the tin using the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
- Gently melt the white chocolate in the microwave or over a bowl of simmering water. Leave to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar, and lemon flavouring until smooth.
- Mix in the cooled melted white chocolate until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream to soft peaks, then gently fold into the cheesecake mixture until thick and creamy.
Assembly
- Spoon the filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm and fully set.
- Top with white chocolate curls, lemon zest, and a glossy layer of lemon curd or glaze to recreate the beautiful finish.
Serving
- Slice and enjoy chilled, preferably with a dollop of whipped cream and a scatter of fresh berries or lemon slices.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, add fresh lemon juice. For mini versions, use a muffin tray. Pair with espresso for a delightful twist.
