    I really enjoyed this cheese cake. It is super light and delicious. My only suggestion is to mill the lemon zest for the filling prior to adding the other ingredients. It didn't mill it and I had big chunks through my cheese cake.

    The base was very tricky. Sticky and hard to spread. Had to make an extra half batch to cover my 25cm tin. Buuuuut tasted amazing!!! Put blueberries on top with a dollop of cream. Delish!!

    This is a sensational, not too sweet, light and tangy dessert. Perfect for any occasion. We will make this often.  tmrc_emoticons.)
