Happened up on this recipe on a search for digestive crust base recipe for Christmas and decided to make the whole lemon cheesecake. It was absolutely delicious and a huge hit with all the family. It will now be made every year and probably at every celebration we have.

Made this today and it is really good, even my gluten eating husband enjoyed it. The lemons give it a really lovely tangy taste. Will make again and throw in some blueberries next time.
