Lemon cheesecake

Lemon cheesecake is a delightful dessert that combines the tangy flavor of lemons with the creamy texture of cheesecake. This dessert typically has a crust made from crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers, mixed with melted butter, and sometimes sugar for added sweetness. The crust serves as a base and is pressed into a springform pan, providing a sturdy foundation for the filling.
The cheesecake filling is usually made from cream cheese, which is the primary ingredient that gives the dessert its smooth and creamy consistency. To incorporate the lemon flavor, fresh lemon juice and zest are added. The zest in particular imparts a bright citrus aroma and flavor that characterizes the dessert. In addition to lemon, the filling includes sugar to sweeten it, eggs to help set the mixture when baked, and sometimes a touch of vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
Some variations may employ sour cream for added tanginess or heavy cream for a richer texture. The mixture is poured into the crust and baked until set, with a slightly wobbly center that firms up as it cools. The cheesecake is typically chilled in the refrigerator for several hours, preferably overnight, to achieve the ideal texture and flavor.
