NO-BAKE LEMON
CHEESECAKE
This cheesecake has a lovely creamy texture and a
wonderful lemon flavor. It is actually
quite addictive; very good! You can use lime juice instead, if desired. Such an easy cheesecake. The crust is lovely, but you can use your own favorite crust, if it is simpler for you. Also, use your own favorite sweetener...just make sure it tastes sweet enough to you. Lovely cheesecake for Spring and Summer.
Ingredients: 
Graham Cracker-like Crust:
2/3 cup Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR Keto Bake Mix (150 mL)
2/3 cup almond meal* (150 mL)
Sweetener to equal 4 tsp sugar (20 mL)
1/3 cup butter, melted - up to 1/2 cup - makes for a firmer crust! (75 mL)
Filling:
8 oz regular cream cheese, softened (250 g)
11/4 cups
whipping cream (300 mL)
1/4 cup lemon juice (60 mL)
2 tbsp water (30 mL)
1 tbsp unflavored gelatin (15 mL)
(1/2 tsp more than an envelope)
(1/2 tsp more than an envelope)
1 tsp vanilla extract (5 mL)
11/2 tsp
lemon zest (7 mL)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Graham Cracker-like Crust: In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix2, almond meal and sweetener (if liquid, add to butter). Stir in butter. Press into bottom of 8-inch (20 cm)
spring form pan. Bake 10 minutes. In fact, if you use 1/2 cup butter, you can skip baking the crust altogether and just pour the cheesecake batter over it. It will set perfectly well in the fridge. Baking does help toast the almond flour in the mix a bit, if you prefer that.
Filling: In food processor, process cream cheese until
smooth. Add whipping cream, liquid
sweetener and lemon juice; process. In
small bowl, combine water and gelatin.
Nuke the gelatin mixture 40 seconds.
Add to cheesecake mixture and process along with vanilla extract. Stir in lemon zest. Pour over baked crust. Refrigerate. Later garnish with Creme Fraiche (click for recipe), if desired.
Helpful Hints: *You may use almond flour;
however, the crust will taste closer to a graham cracker crust if you use
almond meal. I make my almond meal using
sliced almonds which I grind in a coffee bean grinder.
