Ingredients:

2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1 cup oats
90g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Make the Oat Crumble:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Lemon Cheesecake Filling:
- 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.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake Crumbles:
- 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.
5. Bake the Cheesecake Crumbles:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
6. Cool and Serve:
- 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.

With its balanced tart and sweet profile, Lemon Cheesecake Crumbles make for an irresistibly delicious treat. By following these steps and tips, you'll be able to create a dessert that is sure to impress your family and friends.
