Lemon Cheesecake Slice

This was so yummy.

Base:

250g Arnotts Nice bisciuts

110g melted butter or margarine

Filling:

1/2 cup caster sugar

250g cream cheese (softened)

1 large egg

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/2 cup thickened cream (full fat)

Topping:

1 1/2 cups thickened cream (whipped)

Method:

1. Line a 20cm x 30cm slice tray with baking paper. Preheat oven to 170 degrees celsius (150 degrees celsius for fan forced).

2. Crush biscuits (food processor or blender) then add melted butter. Press into base of tin.

3. Combine sugar, cream cheese and egg, (I used my hand held mixer, but a food processor would work too). Start off slow till cream cheese has broken down, then to medium until smooth.

4. Add lemon juice and cream and mix until combined.

5. Pour cream cheese mixture over base, and bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The slice should not have browned. And should be a little wobbly still. Remove from oven and allow to cool in tin, at least 30 minutes. The slice will continue to firm up, during this time.

6. Refrigerate until cold.

7. Spread cold slice with whipped cream.

8. Cut slice into bars, and serve. store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
