Instructions
Making the Woolworths No Bake Lemon Cheesecake involves a few simple steps that anyone can follow. Here’s how you can create this delightful dessert:
1. Prepare the Base: Start by crushing the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl until well mixed.
2. Form the Base: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 20cm (8-inch) springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to pack it in tightly. Place this in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
3. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until well blended.
4. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the thickened cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This will give your cheesecake its fluffy texture.
5. Combine and Chill: Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
