Ingredients:

Method:

1. Start off, by bringing the cream cheese to room temperature to soften it. (Stand at room temperature for 1-hour or cut into chunks and microwave on high for 30 seconds.)
2. Also, soften the butter, or partially melt it. Do not let it become oily by heating.
3. Soak the gelatin in 1/4 cup room temperature water (in a small microwave-safe bowl), till it looks completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). This is the ‘blooming’ process.
4. Once bloomed, microwave  the gelatin mixture for 30 seconds (or lower the cup containing the gelatine solution in a saucepan of boiling water for 30 seconds.) Allow to cool off.
5. Add the crushed graham cracker crumbs and almond flour(if using) to a bowl. Pour in the melted butter, and combine well.
6. Press this into the base of a 20cm/8″ springform/loose base pan.
7. Either place in the fridge to set for a short while OR Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes, for a crisper crust.
8. Lightly beat the chilled cream and set it aside.
9. Next, beat the softened Cream Cheese with Sugar till nice and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times.
10. Add in the gelatin mixture and beat till combined well.
11. Next, add the whipped cream, lemon juice, and rind as well as Vanilla bean paste and either fold in or beat briefly.
12. Pour the batter into the prepared base and refrigerate. Cover tightly and chill for 4 hours or best overnight.
13. Decorate, with berries, lemon curd or simply as I have done, with lemon wedges and fresh slightly sweetened whipped cream!
14. Do try this Definitely-moreish Dessert!
