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.
