Did someone say cheesecake? I have a great passion towards trying different flavours of cheesecakes and today I am going to make this Baked Mini Lemon cheesecake for you guys! Who doesn’t love cheesecakes? I can proudly say, if there is something called true love, it is Cheesecake.
Well, we like cheese in everything in what we consume nowadays. Be it Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, maggi, rolls, pasta and what not. Not just cheese, we opt for extra cheese because cheese is our problem solver. Something doesn’t taste good? Add a little cheese and it would taste better. Okay, maybe not add cheese for everything but it is still our saviour most of the times. Upon all the cheese recipes, Cheesecake is like a king. Agree?
How many flavours of cheesecakes have you tried? Start counting in your head. If you have had more than three flavours, you are eligible to be a true lover of cheesecake. Less than three flavours? Don’t you worry. Because, when you bake this Lemon cheesecake, you will easily reach the count of three. Guess how? Plain cheesecake and chocolate cheesecakes are the common ones that most of us have tried. When you add Lemon Cheesecake, it becomes a total of three:P
Ossoro’s Indian Lemon for Cheesecake:
‘Tangy lemon and sweet cheesecake. The combination is a little…..’ – I know that this thought would have crossed your mind when you read the title Lemon Cheesecake. Trust me, you are going to love this quirky combination. Along with the natural lime juice, I have added Ossoro’s Indian Lemon Essence for a great flavour and extra magic. My baking is incomplete without Ossoro’s flavours. Now, it’s time to see how did the magic happen.
