Lemon Meringue Fudge Cheesecake
Lemon Meringue Fudge Cheesecake
Ingredients
100g Lemon Meringue Fudge from Roly’s Fudge
6 digestive biscuits
50g butter, melted
450g cream cheese
100g sugar
2 gelatin leaves
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
Fresh raspberries
Fresh mint
Candied lemon peel
Method
- Grate the fudge until there are breadcrumb-sized pieces, and set aside.
- Blitz the digestive biscuits in a food mixer until there is a fine crumb. Mix in the butter and half of the fudge, and then press firmly into the base of each mould. Refrigerate.
- Soak the gelatin in cold water and leave for 10 minutes.
- Mix the cream cheese, sugar and lemon zest, then add the remaining fudge.
- Take the gelatin out of the water and add it to the lemon juice. Warm this gently in the microwave until the gelatin melts.
- Stir the gelatin into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly combined.
- Fill each biscuit-lined mould evenly with the cream cheese mixture, tapping down to remove any air pockets. Refrigerate overnight.
- To serve, garnish with a few fresh raspberries, mint and a little candied lemon peel.
Top Tip: At waterside we use individual metal mousse rings, but you could use a small 14cm springform cake tin.
Top Tip: When ready to serve, use a gas burner to gently warm the mousse ring, then push the cheesecake up a fraction first before allowing it to slide gently down onto the plate.
