Description

Directions

• Grease the bottom and sides of a 20cm loose bottomed cake tin.
• Blitz the ginger nut biscuits to a crunchy crumb consistency either in a food processor or place in a bag and bash with a rolling pin.
• Melt the butter in a medium sized saucepan, then stir in the crushed biscuits.
• Press the biscuits into the bottom of the greased cake tin, ensuring all of the bottom is covered evenly, then place into the fridge for a minimum of 20 minutes.
• In a bowl whisk the condensed milk to slightly soften it and then gradually whisk in the lemon juice and zest. Then fold in the cream cheese.
• In a separate bowl whip the cream by hand or use a processor until it just begins to go stiff. Then fold the cream into the lemon mixture and pour the whole mixture over the biscuit base.
• Place the cheesecake into the fridge to chill for 4 to 6 hours. If you can make this the day before and chill overnight, then even better.
• Before serving, remove from fridge for 20 minutes or so to allow the cheesecake to return to room temperature, remove from the tin and decorate with thin slices of lemon.
