- 360 g full fat Philadephia cream cheese
- 75 g icing sugar
- 300 ml double/heavy cream
- 1 jar lemon curd
Decoration
- whipped cream/cheesecake filling
- lemon/yellow decorations
- lemon curd
Instructions
Biscuit Bases
- Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb and add the melted unsalted butter – pulse a few times until it is combined well.
- Press down firmly into the bottoms of the jars/cups that you use – chill in the refrigerator whilst you do the rest!
Cheesecake Filling
- With an electric mixer mix the full fat Philadelphia and icing sugar briefly together until smooth, it’ll only take a few seconds!
- Whilst whisking on a medium speed, pour in the double cream and continue to whip the cream cheese/cream mixture until it is starting to thicken.
- When the cheesecake filling is thick (it's not essential in this one that it holds itself completely as the jar will hold it) spoon in a spoonful of lemon curd onto the cheesecake base - fill a piping bag with a nozzle inside with the cheesecake filling and pipe the mixture on top of the biscuits and lemon curd.
- Reserve a little filling for the top if you have any spare.
- Spoon another spoonful of lemon curd onto of the cheesecake filling and with any spare filling, pipe a little rosette on top and sprinkle with any sprinkles that you are using!
Decoration
- If you didn't use any cheesecake filling, pipe some whipped cream on and then use any sprinkles of your choice!
Notes
- IF you decide to make this as a large cheesecake, I still recommend using a dish with sides as with the addition of lemon curd, it might not set 100% correctly and hold itself! I would also add another 100g of biscuits, and 50g more butter to the base. And set it in the fridge OVERNIGHT if you are making a large one, 1-2 hours will not be long enough!
- I used a mixture of Clip-Top Kilner Jars, Kilner Drink Jars, and other random drink jars - the size doesn't really matter as long as it's no smaller than 250ml as that's a minimum dessert size in my eyes!
- These little cheesecakes will last covered in the fridge for 3 days!
