How to Make Jen S Uncooked Lemon Cheesecake

  1. Crush graham crackers (or digestive biscuits) into fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter and sugar. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined.
  3. Add lemon zest and juice. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Pour the mixture over the graham cracker crust.
  6. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  7. Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. If freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
  8. To serve, let frozen cheesecake thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours. Decorate with whipped cream rosettes and your choice of chocolate curls or candied lemon twists.
