When Life gives you lemons, make Lemon Cheesecake.



Good afternoon! On this fine, cloudy, British day I have taken over my mum's laptop while giving my laptop evils. It's sitting the corner very much like an emo. Shame on you, mister laptop for not working.

What have I been up to during this glorious month of May? Hm.. well.. Lemon cheesecake came to mind. My Boyfriend and I have discovered the lemon cheesecake at Caffe Nero and found it rather tasty. (Also discovered my boyfriend's love of cheesecake.) Which puts me in the mood for making the lemony dessert. Previously I've always been put off making cheesecake due to the hassle of adding gelatine to chilled cheesecake and using a double boiler for the baked counterhalf. All in all, I thought cheesecake was a complete bitch to make. The kind of bitch that slaps you in the face then scream at you. That bitch of a cheesecake.

However! I've found a simple and well reviewed cheesecake recipe. It was the kind that skips around and gives out free hugs. It was that nice.



Say "Hello" to Mister Lemon Cheesecake. Not bad, eh? Needed another lemon really as the lemon taste was struggling to be found. It was a hit with Mum and the boyfriend. I'd say it was a success. Thanks to Mister Sco for sharing his recipe.

Oh, and here are the promised photos from my previous post.

This is the Chocolate chipped cake with cinnamon topping for my sister's picnic.


And this is the Marshmallow Chocolate bar.


This isn't just a cheesecake. It's a Lemon cheesecake that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.



PS. I still bind books. Just not any significant ones yet.
