This firm, yet creamy, New York-style cheesecake bursts with fresh lemon flavor. I made this cheesecake for our company and felt happy to serve it. It was well received too, which always makes me a happy camper! I have so many lemons ripening on the trees in our garden at the moment, that you'll have to bear with me....more lemony desserts coming in the near future to this blog.
The sweetener tables for all the most common scenarios are in my cookbooks for your convenience. For example, ¾ cup sugar sweetness (not ¾ cup liquid) using my bottle of sucralose from the EZ-Sweetz brand (whether the smaller one of 0.5 oz or the bigger yellow bottle of 2 oz – Zero carbs) would be 18 or 36 drops respectively. Here is an article and video about the sweeteners. Part 1. There is another article and video here: Part 2.
