Serves:

Cooking Time:

< 60 min

Ingredients:

Base:
30 ml cooking oil, for brushing
200 g digestive biscuits or Tennis biscuits, crushed
80 g butter, melted

Filling:
250 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
10 g gelatine powder
770 g condensed milk
500 g LANCEWOOD® Creamed Smooth Plain Cottage Cheese
250 ml fresh cream, whipped

Topping:
125 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
10 ml gelatine powder
250 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
45 ml sugar
4 orange(s), sliced into segments to decorate

Method

Base:

Brush the inside of a 23 cm spring-form pan with oil, then neatly line the sides with plastic wrap.
Mix the biscuits with the melted butter and transfer to the spring-form pan. Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of the pan. Set aside.

Filling:

Pour 125 ml of the lemon juice into a small mixing bowl. Add the gelatine and stir well. Leave to sponge for 15 minutes until it becomes spongy in texture.
Transfer to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the gelatine has melted without bringing it to a boil. Remove from the heat and add to the remaining lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, add the condensed milk and whisk using electric beaters.
Add the lemon juice mixture to the condensed milk while whisking, adding a little at a time.
Once fully mixed, add the cottage cheese and whisk until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream.
Pour the mixture onto the biscuit base, smooth the top with a spatula and cover with a layer of plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 3 – 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Topping:

Mix the lemon juice and gelatine in a cup and leave to sponge for 10 – 15 minutes.
Heat the spongy mixture, orange juice and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and gelatine has melted (don’t boil).
Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 15 minutes.

To decorate:

Arrange orange pieces on top of the set cheesecake.
Pour spoonsful of the jelly mixture over the cheesecake, then refrigerate for 1 hour until set.
Gently loosen and remove the sides of the pan and the plastic wrap.
Slice and serve.
