Lemon Drizzle Sponge Cheesecake

Enjoy making this Lemon Drizzle Sponge Cheesecake, certainly a different take on a normal cheesecake, I am sure you are just going to love it!

We have adapted the recipe from Jane’s Patisserie using our flavoured icing sugars and whipping it up mixture. We would like to thank Jane for her delicious creation 🙂

Ingredients

For the Cake!

150 g Unsalted Butter/Stork
150 g Lemon Drizzle Flavoured Icing Sugar
150 g Self Raising Flour
3 Medium Eggs
Zest of 2 Lemons

For the Drizzle!

Juice of 2 Lemons
70 g Caster Sugar

For the Cheesecake!

500 g Full-Fat Cream Cheese
300 ml Double Cream
75 g Lemon Drizzle Flavoured Icing Sugar
Juice of 1 Lemon
Zest of 1 Lemon

For the Decoration!

250g Lemon Drizzle Whipping It Up Mix

70mls Tepid Water

Callebaut Crispearls – we used Salted Caramel

Instructions

For the Cake!

Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line a DEEP 8″ Tin with parchment paper.
Beat together your Butter, and Sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the Flour and Eggs, and Lemon and beat again till combined.
Pour into the Tin, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

For the Drizzle!

Mix together the Lemon Juice and Caster Sugar in a bowl.
Once the cake is baked, leave it for five minutes, and then drizzle the drizzle over the cake. You can pierce the cake a few times with a fork to make soaking in easier.
Pour it on by using spoons, and spread it evenly over everywhere.
Leave the cake to cool fully.

For the Cheesecake!

Beat the Cream Cheese with the Icing Sugar until smooth.
Pour in the Double Cream, and the Lemon, and beat again till really thick. I use the whisk attachment to make this easier and thicker.
Spread the cheesecake mix over the cooled sponge, and leave it to set in the fridge for 5-6 hours, or overnight.

For the Decoration!

Add Whipping it Up mixture to a thoroughly clean mixing bowl, add 70mls of tepid water mix with a whisk until stiff peaks.
Using a large piping bag and 1m Wilton Star Tip, either colour your bag or just fill with the mixture, then pipe swirls on top.
Using a cooks blow torch, gently brown the mering swirls
Decorate Callebaut Crispearls or you could use Sprinkles.. or whatever you like!

Notes

This Cheesecake will last in the fridge for 3 days, best the earlier you eat it, however.
You can use Lemon Extract instead if you wish, but you’d need actual lemon juice for the drizzle.
