We have recently given our Lemon Cheesecake a vanilla lift but it still has a gentle lemon note. The combination with pears simmered in red wine is a winner!

Ina’s Tip

Non-alcohol Variation\n\nUse strong black tea with spices, sugar and red food colour to poach pear slices.

Method:

Simmer the pear wedges with the red wine, brown sugar, cloves, star anise, Seasoned Sea Salt and lemon juice until just tender. Spoon out pears, reduce the sauce a little and return pears to sauce. Refrigerate.

Cheesecake

Beat the water, dry cheesecake mixture and cottage cheese until smooth and well blended.

In another medium/small mixing bowl beat the cream until just firm.

Fold the cream into the cheesecake mixture.

Spoon the mixture into 6 - 8 glasses.

To Serve

Spoon the chilled pear wedges and their sauce over the cheesecake.

Decorate with lavender sprigs.
