Lemon Cheesecake (Serves 6)<br />

1 large faisselle made from 1.5 L of fresh whole cow's milk (remove<br />

and set aside 1 kg of fromage blanc)<br />

4 medium eggs, 2 whole lemons, 200 g sugar, ½ jar lemon jam or<br />

jelly, 1 pinch salt, 400 g of dry biscuits, 130 g butter, 1 cc of powdered<br />

cinnamon.<br />

Prepare your faisselles 24 hours in advance following the instructions<br />

(including several hours for drainage). Whip the fromage<br />

blanc using a hand blender.<br />

Preheat the oven to 160°C (setting 5/6).<br />

Grease a layer cake pan with removable bottom and cover the<br />

bottom with a circle of parchment paper.<br />

Crumble the biscuits coarsely into a bowl and add 130 g of melted<br />

butter and the cinnamon.<br />

Pour the mixture into the pan (touching the sides) to a depth of 5<br />

mm and place the pan in the refrigerator.<br />

Finely grate the zest of the lemons. Gradually add the sugar, eggs<br />

and salt to the whipped fromage blanc until the resulting mixture<br />

is nice and creamy.<br />

Pour the mixture into the pan and smooth the surface with a<br />

spatula.<br />

Bake for about 70 minutes in the centre of the oven.<br />

Turn off the oven and open the door slightly to allow the cake to<br />

cool. Melt the lemon jelly in a small saucepan over low heat. Cool<br />

the jelly to lukewarm and pour half a centimetre over the surface<br />

of the cake.<br />

Leave in the refrigerator to set for at least 5 hours.<br />

Turn the cheesecake out onto a plate held against the pan.<br />

Chill thoroughly and serve.
