Lemon cheesecake recipe

Historical recipe record without an accepted exact episode or contestant association.

Ingredients

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese
  • 250 g ricotta cheese
  • Zest 1 lemon, plus 1 tsp juice
  • 110 g caster sugar
  • 225 g Madeira cake, blitzed into crumbs
  • 225 g raspberries, plus extra to decorate
  • Sugar, to taste

Method

  1. Blend the 225g raspberries with sugar to taste, then set the sauce aside.
  2. Mix the mascarpone, ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice and caster sugar until evenly combined. Work in most of the Madeira-cake crumbs to make a mouldable mixture.
  3. Shape the mixture into rounds. Make a hollow in each one, add a small amount of raspberry sauce and close the cheese mixture around it.
  4. Coat the rounds in the remaining cake crumbs and serve with the remaining sauce and extra raspberries.
