Mini Lemon Cheesecakes
This is a great recipe- a combination of smooth creamy sweet cheese, zingy lemon and crunchy biscuit base. However it is so versatile, you can add any flavourings and change it to suit your tastes (however I think the lemon tastes best!). I made up this recipe whilst searching out a good snack. This recipe makes 12 mini cheesecakes.

Ingredients
- You need:
- For the Cheese cake:
- - 2 tubs of 200g Cream Cheese (I use Philedelphia)
- - 50g of icing sugar (a good shaking)
- - 2 lemons (juice and rind)
- - Splash of double cream (if your cheesecake seems runny, add more of this and stir so more air is incorporated into it, however if it is thick, this is good, the thicker the better!)
- For the biscuit base:
- - Chunk of butter (50-75g)
- - Half a pack of digestive biscuits (150g ish, you can use any biscuits, however)
