Lemon Cheesecake

What is it?

Tangy lemon flavour cuts through a cream cheese filling that sits on a biscuit base, giving you creaminess, citrus sharpness and a crumbly bottom in each slice. The acidic edge from the lemon works against the dairy richness rather than getting lost in it. Compared with other Sara Lee cheesecakes, this one shifts away from plain vanilla and chocolate into brighter territory. It's a frozen dessert, usually thawed before serving, and cut into wedges once soft enough to slice cleanly. If you like your cheesecake with a bit of bite rather than pure sweetness, the lemon layer is doing the heavy lifting here.
