Stovetop Cheesecake Recipe
Prep time: 20 minutes
Chill time: 8 hours
Yield: One 8-inch (20 cm) cheesecake

1 Cookie Crust
2 cups (16 oz/450 g) cream cheese, softened
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cups (12 fl oz/360 ml) heavy cream
cup (4 oz/115 g) plus cup (4 oz/115 g) granulated sugar

*Press the cookie crust into an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan. Set aside.
*In a large bowl, whisk the cream cheese, lemon juice and vanilla extract until well blended. Place a fine mesh sieve over the bowl and set aside near the stove.
*In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cup (4 oz/115 g) sugar. Set aside near the stove.
*In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and cup (4 oz/115 g) sugar. Cook over medium heat until the cream begins to simmer.
*Temper the eggs by whisking them constantly while pouring in the hot cream a little bit at a time.
*Return the cream and egg mixture to the saucepan, turn the heat to low and whisk without stopping until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
*Immediately pour the mixture through the sieve and onto the cream cheese.
*Whisk until the filling is smooth and evenly combined, then pour this into your prepared pan.
*Smooth the top and then refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
*When ready to serve, run a thin knife along the edge to loosen the cake, then unmold and serve immediately.
*Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer from up to 1 month. *Defrost for a few hours in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes
A cooked cheesecake filling, done quickly on the stovetop - no oven necessary! This lies somewhere between the light, gelatin-based no-bake cheesecake and a dense, baked cheesecake.

Tips
* Use good quality brick-style cheesecake like Philadelphia. Some brands are too watery and tub cheesecake wont be firm enough.
* The acid in the lemon helps the cream set. The riper the lemon, the more acid it has so choose the ripest lemons you can find to ensure a firmer set. You can also use bottled lemon juice which has a standard, higher level of acid.
* This is a softer set cheesecake and must stay refrigerated until you want to serve it.
* If you would like a bit more firmness to this cheesecake, whisk 2 teaspoons of cornstarch into your eggs before you temper them and cook the custard.
* If you are traveling with this cheesecake, pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours before you go to keep it cold.
* We like this cheesecake refrigerator cold but you can also serve it frozen for an icy summery treat!
This cheesecake would be lovely served with fresh berries or a drizzle of Raspberry Sauce!
