richanddelish.com

The Lemon Meringue Cheesecake recipe is a delightful combination of tangy lemon cheesecake, topped with lemon curd and fluffy meringue.

Bake the crust in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 7-8 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, add the room-temperature cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.

Mix with an electric hand mixer until is creamy.

Add the sour cream and lemon juice and mix until well combined.

Whisk the eggs with a fork, add them to the cream cheese batter, and mix until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Sift the cornstarch into the mixture and mix until combined and there are no lumps of cornstarch showing.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust, and release air bubbles by gently tapping the pan onto a flat surface.

Bake it in a 140c (280f) preheated oven for about an hour or until the edges of the cheesecake are set, but the middle is a bit jiggly.

Top the cheesecake with the lemon curd and smooth it out with an offset spatula.

Top the lemon curd layer with the meringue topping and make swirls with an offset spatula. Blowtorch the meringue to finish it off.
