Equipment

19-20cm round springform cake tin
handheld electric beaters or stand mixer

Ingredients

180 grams plain biscuits (Arrowroot or Marie work well)
100 grams butter, melted
85 grams lemon jelly crystals
¾ cup hot water (190ml)
¼ cup lemon juice (juice from approx 1 large lemon)
250 ml thickened cream
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
250 grams cream cheese (at room temperature)
50 ml extra thickened cream and zest from lemon, for decorating

Instructions

Dissolve the lemon jelly crystals in the hot water. Add lemon juice and then place in fridge for ¾ hour.
Prepare round cake tin by greasing with butter and lining base with baking paper.
Crush biscuits using a food processor or chopper to a fine crumb (or a rolling pin if you want to go old school).
Combine biscuit crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl.
Press biscuit mixture firmly into the base of the greased cake tin and place into fridge to chill.
Place thickened cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and beat for 2-3 minutes or until mixture becomes thick and fluffy.
Cut room temperature cream cheese into cubes and beat into the thickened cream mixture until completely combined.
Add the lemon jelly mixture (which has been in fridge for ¾ hour) and beat until combined.
Pour mixture over the biscuit base and then place back into the fridge.
Allow to set in the fridge for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
Once set, release sides of springform tin and remove the cheesecake from the cake tin. Decorate cheesecake with lemon zest and whipped cream.
