Ingredients

    200g plain biscuits
    125g butter, melted
    500g cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup Chelsea Caster Sugar (113g)
    3 Tbsp lemon zest
    2 eggs

    Lemon Curd
    2 Tbsp lemon zest
    1/4 cup lemon juice (60ml)
    1/2 cup Chelsea Caster Sugar (113g)
    40g butter, chopped
    2 egg yolks, lightly whisked

Method

    Preheat oven to 180°C bake (160°C fan-forced). Grease a 20cm spring-form cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

    Pulse biscuits in a food processor to form fine crumbs. Add butter and pulse until combined. Spoon biscuit mixture into prepared tin and press in evenly to form the base. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    In a bowl beat cream cheese, Chelsea Caster Sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour mixture over chilled base and place tin on a baking tray. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until just set in the middle.

    Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in with the door ajar for two hours or until completely cool. Spread lemon curd over the top and refrigerate at least two hours before serving. 

    Lemon Curd
    Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. Cook 5-10 minutes, stirring, until mixture thickens. Strain through a fine sieve and leave to cool.

    Storage:
    This keeps well for 5-6 days in the fridge, or 6-8 months frozen.

Have made this before and was a great hit. Making again today for a birthday.. delicious

The lemon cheesecake looks and tastes amazing!
I really enjoyed the Lemon cheesecake because it is a great option for pudding as it is very simple and delicious.

Yummy!

Tried it tonight, easy enough to make and tastes good too.

Deeeelicious and really easy to make. A real hit with everyone I’ve served it to. Definitely a 5-star recipe.

Yummy however double the filling.

This lemon cheesecake is amazing. So delicious and now a family favourite. Yummy.

Haven't finished making it yet but looks delicious.
unsure if the inside is supposed to be gooey?

I love this recipe so much! It is fool proof and one of the easiest recipes in the world it isn’t to sour and isn’t to sweet. This is my favourite recipe to make in the world. If anyone has a bad word against this recipe they must’ve done something wrong, thank you Chelsea Sugar!

Very easy and very tasty.

was an ok cheesecake, didn’t deliver on flavour, much better recipes out there

Yummy cheesecake, easy to make and delicious!

Due to egg being in it, it’s not normal cheesecake, and this is baked. Misleading

Absolutely beautiful. So easy, my first baked cheesecake which came out amazing.

Absolutely yummy, however a bit time-consuming with the chilling, then cooking, then cooling, then chilling... I just wanted to EAT IT!!

Yummy, yummy.

I've tried this recipe step by step and it turned out delicious. The flavours are spot on and it's nice and moist. I hope to do more of these recipes sometime.

Such a fabulous recipe would definitely recommend. Absolutely in love.

This was an easy cheesecake recipe to make and it was yum :) Next time I'll make an orange one!

Easy and delicious. Will definitely make it again and will try some different combinations of flavours too.

Yum yum. Perfect with passion fruit pulp on top. It adds a tart which is perfect with the sweet.

Found this recipe a few months ago and now it's a great go-to when I need something special!

Absolutely delicious!

So good and really easy to customise to your taste! I've made it two times before - one identical to the recipe above and the other with a raspberry topping instead of a lemon one. Definitely give it a go, even if you've never made cheese cake before (its pretty easy!)

Easy to make and tastes delicious. I have made this a few times and used krispie and gingernut biscuits for a change.

Really good

I made this cheesecake yesterday and it came out perfect. I added a cup of raspberries to the filling and didn't put on the lemon curd.

Just made the lemon cheesecake, so easy to make, and delish. If you like smack your lips desert, this is it....10 out of 10...
