It is lemon season and our tree is overflowing, so I thought it appropriate that my first recipe posting should be a lemon one. This is my TM conversion of a recipe that originated from Super Food Ideas magazine. It is fast becoming a family favourite.
Baked Lemon Cheesecake
Number of People:12 (but 8-10 is more realistic!)
Ingredients:
250g Plain Sweet Biscuits (we prefer Granita)
140g Butter, cubed
500g Cream Cheese, cubed (room temp preferred but not essential)
3/4 cup Caster Sugar
3 teas Lemon Rind, grated (peel rind from lemons and grate 10 secs, speed 8. Keep 3 teas and freeze rest for another use)
3 Eggs
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
Preparation:
Preheat oven 160°C (140°FF).
Lightly grease 20cm springform tin (6cm deep) and line base with baking paper.
Place biscuits and cubed butter in TM bowl and crush 5-6 seconds, speed 6-7. Then cook 2 minutes, 90°, speed 3.
Press mixture evenly over base and sides of tin. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
Meanwhile wash and dry TM bowl.
Place cream cheese, sugar and lemon rind in TM bowl and blend 20 seconds, speed 6.
Scrape down sides and base to loosen mixture if needed.
Add eggs and lemon juice beat 1-2 minutes, speed 4, until smooth. Scrape down bowl if needed after 1 minute.
Pour into prepared tin, place on baking tray (to catch any butter drips from base) and bake 50-60 minutes or until filling is just set (mixture may wobble a bit in center, but will firm on standing).
Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in oven to cool with door ajar.
When cool refrigerate at least 4 hours (tastes better if left overnight).
Tips/Hints:
For a vanilla variation omit rind and lemon juice. Beat 300g sour cream with the cream cheese and add 3 teas vanilla essence with the eggs.

Greyhoundmum - This cheesecake was very yummy, I topped it with some berries and strawberry coulis.
Denzelmum - Everybody loves the cheesecake. I use Nice biscuit for the crust and serve it with raspberry coulis (EDC recipe).
Bedlam - Baked this yesterday. A really nice cheesecake especially good as our family favourite has gelatine and my vegetarian DD cant eat it. This seems one that improves with being kept a day or two, so handy for large gatherings and making ahead.
Thanks for sharing Kimmyh.
AussieMum2Boys - Omg amazing... this is such a delicious cheese cake!! Yummmmmmm
tarasis - I keep meaning to post in here to say thanks Kimmy, we loved this cheesecake the two times we've made it so far. Absolutely delicious. First time had strawberries in it, the second didn't. Can't recommend it highly enough.
ES - Thanks for this recipe. It was a hit for Father's Day lunch.
Tasty - I have made a recipe like this several times in the past so was pleased to find the recipe for a Thermomix. I used this recipe and added sour cream like my original recipe had and then topped it with blueberries. Guests all enjoyed it with only 1 slice left. Personally though, I prefer the vanilla flavour.
Foodgroupie - It's in the oven as we speak, taking it to the in laws tomorrow for dinner, had a little taste, DIVINE! thanks for the recipe. Will def be making this again. So, so easy.
Kimmyh - Made a passionfruit version of this recipe for DH's birthday.
You will need 2/3 cup of passionfruit pulp. Strain by pushing through a sieve to get as much juice as possible (almost 1/2 cup). Reserve1 tablespoon of seeds.
Omit rind and lemon juice. Beat 300g sour cream with the cream cheese and add strained passionfruit juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste with the eggs. Pour into tin and add 1 tabs of reserved passionfruit seeds to top and swirl through with a knife. Bake as per recipe. I served it with fresh berries and passionfruit coulis.
BZB - Thanks for the recipe, Kimmy. Good size for the airfryer. Baked at 140c. Got browning at the surface though. I should have checked it earlier than 30 mins, and covered with foil. Anyway the strawberry coulis managed to hide the spots. My 2 older boys went for 2nd helping straight after their first slice.
CC - Another success with your recipe Kimmy. We ate it for dessert Easter Sunday.

HI Kimmyh
I also have an adundance of lemons, I cant wait to try this. Thank you
-
No worries. I must say I accidentally doubled the lemon juice in this recipe on the weekend and used 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup and DH loved it with more lemon juice, but I found it too lemony. Of course he is the one that can suck the juice from lemon chunks, not me. Happy baking. ;D
-
Will be making this after our weekend.
