Method

  • 1. Heat oven to 160°C

  • 2. Beat cheese and sugar for 10 minutes

  • 3. Meanwhile, crumble biscuits with a rolling pin and mix with melted butter and line a large loose-bottomed tin

  • 4. Add eggs one at a time to the cheese mixture, beating well between each one then add the lemon juice. (The mixture will be very runny at this time)

  • 5. Pour the mixture over the biscuit base and cook for 35 minutes then leave for one hour in the oven with the oven turned off

  • 6. When cool, spread the sour cream or smetana over the top and decorate with fruit or chocolate vermicelli

    • Just wondering how did you adapt this recipe for the aga? Desperate to make one but only have an aga that can't be turned on and off!

    • Go into Waitrose or Sainsbury and buy curd cheese or go into any delicatessan and buy cooking/curd cheese. It is not as creamy and I think is not as fat as cream cheese. Curd cheese is also cheaper than cream cheese but I am sure the cake will be lovely with it anyway.

    • What is cooking/curd cheese? Is it cream cheese or can this be substituted?Thanks.

    • I have used ginger nuts as well and really like it, but they are much harder to crumble so often use half and half. Have never tried the vanilla seeds.

    • Lovely recipe, very like my one. But I replace the digestives with ginger nuts when using a lemon flavoured cheese filling. And use real vanilla seeds with a digestive base.

    • No way. This is a cheesecake recipe and i have absolutely no idea how it would work with lemon curd.

    • I'd really like to try this tomorrow...can I use lemon curd in place of cooking curd???

    • This is THE cheesecake. forget all others. I added some very finely grated lemon zest to add even more lemony flavour. Yum!

    • I have never used an Aga so am very pleased you could adapt it.

      by Myrna Young on Fri Sep 4 2009   reply to this comment

    • I modified this recipe for cooking in an Aga and it still turned out fine. Needs a bit of fine tuning but then this isnt designed for an Aga!

    • People can get really complicated with cheesecake (or curdcake), but this is as I think it should be. Simple and more-ish. Beautiful.
