Lemon Cheese Pie

Lemon is one of my favorite baking ingredient. This cheese pie can also be served as a slice.It can be served either warm with ice-cream or it makes a delicious cold desert.  It is deliciously moist, zesty and keeps well.

Ingredients

Pastry: 125g butter, 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup icing sugar

Filling: Juice and zest of 4 large juicy lemons ( approximately 150ml), 2 cups sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 

4 eggs, icing sugar to decorate.

Instructions

To make the pastry, whiz butter, flour and icing sugar in a food processor until it clings together in a ball. Press into a greased pie dish and bake by 180°C for 10-15 minutes until dryish looking. To make the filling, mix lemon zest and juice, sugar, flour and eggs together and pour into the hot, pastry crust. Return to oven for 25-30 minutes until filling has cooked. Sprinkle with icing sugar as soon as you remove pie from the oven and re-sprinkle prior to serving.
