Hello Everyone,
I made Lemon Cheesecake squares for our Diwali Celebrations. I got this recipe in the cook book 'Meals made easy', the one I received as a gift. They make a refreshing dessert to a dinner and are delicious for afternoon tea. It is an easy recipe to follow and quick to make.
Ingredients:
60g butter
1 1/2 cups Granita Biscuit crumbs (You get them at Coles, Put them in a plastic bag and crush using a rolling pin )
1 1/4 cups White sugar
1 Packet (100g) Lemon flavored Jelly
250g Cream Cheese, softened
1Tsp Lemon Essence
440g Sweetened condensed milk chilled
Thin lemon rind strips, to garnish
Steps:
1. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 20cm square baking pan.
2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a large bowl, mix the butter with the biscuit crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
3. Place jelly in a small bowl; add 3/4 cup boiling water (as per packet instructions). Stir until dissolved. Allow to cool, but not to set.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and lemon essence until smooth and fluffy. Add the condensed milk and cooled lemon jelly; whisk until completely smooth.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the biscuit crust and chill for 2-3 hours. Slice into squares and garnish with strips of lemon zest to serve.
Let me know how your Lemon squares turned out. Enjoy cooking!
