here’s the lemon cheesecake before it got blended into ice cream 😳
a slightly modified burnt basque cheesecake 🍋 the lemonyness actually went pretty well with the caramelised ‘burnt’ top.
you want to keep an eye on it when cooking, it’ll be ready all of a sudden (this one probably had 5 minutes too many).
