"Lemon Cheesecake"


Why the quotation marks? Because this lemon "cheesecake" doesn't actually have cheese in it.

I love lemon cheesecake. It's my favourite dessert, and sorry chocolate lovers, but lemon tart / cheesecake / drizzle cake over chocolate anytime, hands down.

It also happens that one finds every possible way one can when exam times roll round. In my case, I've taken to Instagram and taking pictures of everything I eat and plan excessively for each meal.

I was craving clotted cream, so that's precisely what I got among my happy alone-shopping time at Fortnum and Masons, along with a whole lot of biscuits / shortbread...did manage to stop myself from getting even more tea when I have about 10 different teas at home despite the fact that I'm leaving London in a month. I don't think I'd be able to finish them unless I drank about five cups of tea a day (I am amounting to that number soon).


Oh I do love this place. And yes I do realise I've gone off a tangent on this cheeseless cheesecake.

I was inspired by Yeo Valley's Lemon Curd Yoghurt and Gu's Lemon Cheesecake Puds, and the clotted cream I bought today (see? All the rant above was relevant after all.) Most my aim of cooking is that it has to be FAST and non-messy. And finding digestives, butter, lemon curd and yoghurt at home, I managed to recreate one of my favourite desserts - in a matter of 7-9 minutes.
