Speculoos and lemon cheesecake

So......here is another delicious treat I have produced using some of my 300 Speculoos biscuits.

I chose a lemon cheesecake body to go with the spiced caramel biscuits.

The cheesecake body was made with lemon zest, lemon juice, creme fraiche, sugar, eggs and cream cheese. The base was made simply of butter and crushed Speculoos biscuits.

I completed the cheesecake with a dollop of Speculoos spread, a couple of fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of cocoa.

The buttery biscuit base was soft, but still had some crunchy parts. The lemon body was creamy and zesty. The Speculoos spread and raspberry completed the cheesecake, it would not have been as good without them! I also enjoyed the hint of chocolate from the cocoa. A delicate collection of flavours.

  6. I have a stash of Speculoos to use and this is a really good way to use them. I've been to Mango Tree too, had a great meal there although the acoustics were very bad and my friend and I had to shout over the table to each other!
