Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1/4 cup (54g) melted butter, 1/3 cup (72g) brown sugar, 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose white wheat flour, and 1 cup (90g) oats.
- Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a crumbly mixture.
- Press about half of this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a base. Set the remaining crumble mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/3 cup (72g) cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add 2 tbsp (30g) lemon zest and 1/2 cup (100g) sugar. Beat until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the 2 eggs (100g) one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually pour in 1/2 cup (120g) heavy whipping cream, and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the lemon cheesecake filling over the oat crumble base in the baking pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat crumble mixture over the top of the cheesecake filling evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Allow the cheesecake crumbles to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
- Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve.
Tips:
- Ensure that your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice.
- When zesting the lemon, make sure to only use the yellow part of the skin as the white pith can be bitter.
- If you prefer a crunchier topping, you can lightly toast the oats before adding them to the crumble mix.
- Allow the cheesecake crumbles to cool completely before serving to let the flavors meld together.
