Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Wonderful! I made a biscuit base using half ginger nut biscuits, half arrowroots. Also used lime instead of lemon as it's what I had. Everyone raved about it!
I have just baked this and had to put oven temp down at 150 the last 15 minutes and switch oven off at 35 minutes. It looks really brown, what do you recommend to avoid this? I have not tasted yet, will let you know about the taste! Cheers
Hello! Thank you for the recipe! Do you know if ricotta cheese is ok to use for this recipe? Cheers Elena
this was amazing!
This is really good but a little runny compared to other cheesecakes. I did add more lemon juice, which it really did need. Maybe that made it a little runnier, not sure. But delicious just the same.
I made this with limes instead of lemon as that's all I had and it was such I hit, Hubby has asked me to make it again this weekend for a family lunch!
Lovely recipe, easy and very tasty! Can't wait to make it again
Delicious and easy recipe. I would maybe use a little more butter for the base next time
