Preparation

Step 1

Reduce cookies to a fine powder. Melt the butter in the microwave and mix it with powder. Line a pan with parchment paper 8 inches in diameter. Divided powdered cookies to form the crust of the cheesecake and pack them with the bottom of a glass (it must be compact so that it can support the cheesecake.)

Step 2

Place in refrigerator while you prepare the filling. In a bowl, beat Kiri, cheese, sugar, juice and lemon zest. Add eggs and beat until mixture is smooth. Take the crust out of the fridge and cover with the lemon mixture.

Step 3

Make 35 to 40 minutes in a preheated oven at 325 ° F. The center should be slightly wobbly in the end. Remove cheesecake from oven, let cool then refrigerate for 24 hours. Serve chilled, enjoy!
