200ml double cream
160g caster sugar

Method:
Line the base of a loose base 7” tin with a circle of parchment paper.
Combine the melted butter and digestive biscuit and press firmly into the tin. Allow to set in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
Combine the soft cheese, double cream, and sugars in a mixer on medium speed for about 4-5 minutes whilst adding the lemon juice and lemon extract until you get your required sourness, and the mixture is firm and not watery.
Scoop the mixture into the tin, press it down and flatten the top. Chill it in the fridge for 12 hours, preferably overnight.
To turn out the cheesecake push from the bottom of the tin and place onto a cake board atop a rotating cake stand. Smooth the edges, apply your drizzle and decorate accordingly with Bling toppings! Viola!
