Lemon Meringue Cheesecake

Like I promise on my Instagram account, here is THE recipe of my lemon meringue cheesecake with lemon curd inside. This is the perfect dessert for everyone who loves lemon. However, you’ll need time to bake this cheesecake; about a half day (especially because of the baking time and the chilling time). Or, you can bake the cheesecake on the evening for the next day (but it should take about 3 hours the night before because you have to make the lemon curd (about 1 hour chilling time) and bake the cheesecake (1.5 hour)).

Here are the cookies I used for the cheesecake’s crust. These cookies are perfect for every cheesecake’s crust 😉 In Switzerland, you’ll find them at COOP.

If  you want to try this delicious recipe, go ahead, you’ll not be disappointed ! The steps are easy, it just takes time. But this recipe will impress your friends or family. In any case, I think I will be able to realize this recipe again for Bibi who loves lemon’s desserts.

PS: I try to write in english but it isn’t my mother tongue. Sorry if you find some mistakes.
