Lemon mousse cheesecake

Ingredients:
200g shortbread biscuits
50g melted butter
300ml whipping cream
250g cream cheese
125g icing sugar
100ml thick lemon curd
1 lemon, finely zested

Method:
1. Roughly crush the shortbread biscuits, mix in the melted butter and spoon into the ramekins or serving glasses to chill for approximately ten minutes.

2. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks and set aside.

3. Mix the cream cheese, lemon curd and icing sugar until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Fold the mixture gently into the whipped cream until well mixed.

4. Spoon on top of the shortbread base until the ramekins/glasses are almost full.

5. Top with a little lemon zest and serve chilled.

Tips:
If you’re looking to impress this summer, serve the cheesecake in a Champagne flute to add a little sophistication. However, if you are entertaining a large group of friends why not make them into bitesize canapés? You could serve the dessert on white porcelain spoons or, for a fun twist, use shot glasses.

To make the dessert in shot glasses, omit the lemon curd from the cream cheese mixture and instead use it to layer in between the biscuit and mousse. Grate lemon zest on top and accompany the shot glass with a mini canapé spoon.
