– 1 cup all purpose flour
½

Zest and juice of 2 lemons
115

– ½ cup sugar granulated sugar
Instructions
Line a 23x23 cm - 9x9 inch pan with baking paper and grease it with butter.
Put the butter, sugar, flour, vanilla and lemon zest in a food processor and blend it until crumbly.
Press this crumbly dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
Bake it in a preheated oven at 175°C - 350°F for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar and lemon zest until fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition and then add the lemon juice. Continue beating until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake mixture onto the par-baked crust and return the pan to the oven.
Bake it for 25-30 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and the centre is slightly jiggly.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 3 hours.
Once the cheesecake is completely set, remove it from the pan and slice it into 9 or 16 bars.
Serve immediately, or sprinkle with granulated sugar and brûlée before serving.
