Ingredients
- 200g cream cheese or 100g mascarpone + 100g cream cheese
- 70 g sugar
- 80 g lemon juice + zest of one lemon
- 200 g liquid cream 35% fat content

Preparation
Biscuit
Melt the butter and pour it over your crumbled biscuits. Mix coarsely.
Place your individual baking tin or your 8-person circle on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spread the mixture in the bottom of your baking tin, packing them well. Put in the fridge.
Cream cheese
Dissolve the agar-agar in the lemon juice.
Whisk the cream cheese in a bowl. Then add the sugar, lemon juice and zest.
Stir to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Whipped cream
Whip your cold liquid cream into a whipped cream. Gently fold the whipped cream into the previous mixture using a Maryse*. Finally, pour the cream over the biscuit, smooth it out and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
Dressage
Cut your pears into thin quarters and cut your strawberries into 4 pieces.
Decorate your cheesecakes by placing the pear quarters and the strawberry pieces harmoniously. Place the meringues, mint shoots and zest the lime.
I often make this recipe with 40g of lemon juice and 40g of passion fruit juice. And I add some lemon curd (see lemon pie recipe) as a decoration. This gives the dessert an extra kick.
