In a small pan gently melt together the butter and Molasses sugar until all of the sugar has dissolved. Crush the biscuits and add to the melted butter. Stir together until completely coated. Press the biscuit mix firmly into the base of the prepared tin using the back of a spoon until smooth and level. Chill whilst making the cheesecake topping. For the topping, mix together the Mascarpone cheese, sifted icing sugar, lemon zest and juice. Mix just until combined and smooth. Spoon onto the biscuit base and level the top before placing in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours to set. When ready to serve remove the cheesecake from the tin and decorate with the sliced lemon and a light dusting of icing sugar.

Ingredients Metric For the Base 200g Gingernut Biscuits 80g Unsalted Butter 25g Unrefined Molasses Sugar (We like Billington's) Molasses is the sweet thickened liquid by-product obtained from the sugar refining process. The liquid is crystallised to make molasses sugar. It is the ultimate soft brown sugar, packed full of natural cane molasses and has the deepest colour and richest flavour of all sugars. This combined with the sticky texture and treacle-like flavour makes it perfect for rich Christmas cakes and indulgent sticky toffee puddings. It is also excellent for making chutneys, marinades and ethnic foods, where a rich colour and sweet flavour is essential. For the Topping 500g Mascarpone Cheese 2 Lemon(s) (Zest & Juice) 140g Unrefined Golden Icing Sugar (Sifted) This unrefined golden icing sugar gives the most amazing caramel undertone and colour. It is perfect for buttercream, dusting cakes or making delicious macaroons.
