Instructions
Step 1
Start by placing the *lemon zest* in a pot of cold water. Bring it to a boil and then drain the water. Repeat this process five times to mellow the zest's bitterness.
Next, add the *sugar* and *lemon juice* to the pot. Blend the mixture until it reaches a *smooth and homogeneous puree*. You can use a food processor or blender for this step.
Finally, cook the puree until it reaches the weight specified in the recipe.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the *cream cheese*, *mascarpone*, and *heavy cream*. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes light and *fluffy*.
Add the *eggs* one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This will ensure a *creamy texture* without lumps.
Mix in the *lemon puree*, *sugar*, *lemon zest*, and *flour*. Blend until fully incorporated, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to combine everything evenly.
Step 3
Prepare your baking pan (30x11 cm) by greasing it lightly. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
*Bake* the cheesecake in a preheated oven at the appropriate temperature, which may vary based on your oven type and personal preference. It's important to keep an eye on it while it bakes to achieve that perfect texture.
Servings
For a more indulgent experience, consider serving this cheesecake with a **tart lemon sauce** drizzled generously over the top. Each bite will be a delightful dance of sweet and tangy! π
Gather your friends for a cozy afternoon or serve it during a festive get-together. Your guests will appreciate this delicious treat, and itβs sure to become a new favorite at any gathering! π₯³
Equipment
It's crucial to have the right size pan for even baking, so ensure your pan is measured accurately. A non-stick or lined pan will help with easy release.
Whipping cream and mixing the batter to the perfect consistency is easy with a good mixer. This is essential for achieving that dreamy texture.
A good spatula will help you fold in ingredients without deflating the batter. Make sure to use a silicone or rubber spatula for the best results!

Faq
- Can I use regular cream cheese instead of mascarpone?
Yes, you can use regular cream cheese, but mascarpone gives a richer flavor and smoother texture.
- Why is there no baking temperature or time provided?
Every oven is different, and it's important to adjust according to your specific setup. Keep an eye on it as it bakes!
- Can I add more lemon flavor?
Absolutely! You can increase the lemon purΓ©e or add a bit of lemon extract for an extra kick.
- How do I know when the cheesecake is done?
It should be slightly jiggly in the center but set around the edges. It will firm up as it cools!
- This cheesecake has a crack! What happened?
Cracks can happen when the cheesecake is cooked too quickly or too long. Make sure to bake at a lower temperature if this is a common issue for you.
- Can I freeze the cheesecake?
Yes, you can freeze it! Just be sure to wrap it well and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
