How to Make For Diabetics Lemon Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Crush 10 digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. In a bowl, combine the crumbs with 50g (1/4 cup) melted unsalted diabetic-friendly butter. Mix well with your fingers until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 4-inch diameter springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
  4. While the crust chills, in a blender, combine 250g (8oz) diabetic-friendly cream cheese, 100ml (1/2 cup) low-fat diabetic-friendly yogurt, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup lemon zest, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia), 2 large eggs, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon of warm milk or whey if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges may brown slightly.
  7. Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. In a small saucepan, gently combine 1/4 cup lemon marmalade with 1 tablespoon of water. Simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the marmalade is melted and smooth. Cool completely.
  9. Once the cheesecake is well chilled, gently pour the cooled lemon marmalade topping over the surface. Refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the topping to set slightly.
  10. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Cut into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy!
