When you are ready to make the cheesecake, open the can and use just the thick "cream" that has solidified on the top.

We enjoyed it very much, even though some of the family wanted it less lemony than I had even gotten it down to - and one teen son refused more than a bite (guess who got his? lol) I'll probably be unable to resist playing with the recipe until I get just the exact texture and sweet/tartness I want. My married daughter was the most taken with the dish. Any time she mentioned it, or thought about it, her mouth would water overly much and she dared not open it! :DPixiehttp://cheerfullyvegan.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764210020143807712.post-35174144415509522572012-03-02T14:04:40.708-06:002012-03-02T14:04:40.708-06:00I really hope you like your finished dessert, Pixi...I really hope you like your finished dessert, Pixie! These bars are supposed to be very tart and very lemony. Next time I make them, I will actually be increasing the amount of zest to make the lemon flavor even deeper.<br /><br />Once I got everything in the blender, it was not too thick, and I only suggested to scrape down the sides of the blender in case things were sticking.Kierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753841109944513737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764210020143807712.post-8579697774643333662012-03-02T11:40:28.397-06:002012-03-02T11:40:28.397-06:00Please could you juice a couple of lemons again, K...Please could you juice a couple of lemons again, Kier, and see what measurement you come up with? I have been dying to make this cheesecake. I bought all of the stuff to do so and was so excited. Well, I just finished struggling with it. The recipe says - "juice of 2 lemons (1/2 c)." I was making a double recipe, so I juiced 4 organic lemons. Granted, they were small, but I only got 1/2 c. out of the FOUR instead of the 1 c. for the double recipe. So, I juiced 4 more to get the full amount. Then I blended everything up. My first concern was that I was not needing to scrape everything down like the recipe said I should. Mine blender was whirring away with no trouble. Possibly too much liquid? Hmmm. I knew what kind of texture to expect after using cashews for "cream" for many years. Fearfully, I tasted it (because the only large amount of liquid was from the lemon juice) and about sat down hard on the floor from the strong lemon juice taste! Apparently, you only need the number of lemons stated, not the 1/2 c. juice? I ended up adding more of everything else and some stevia and sugar to make it sweet enough and thick enough to use. The taste was good after I got done, but I have a VERY thick 9x13 cheesecake now. The jury is still out on the finished product's texture after messing with it. <br /><br />The other possibility ~ maybe you just like tarter things than I do! :)Pixiehttp://cheerfullyvegan.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764210020143807712.post-43627709699196331482012-02-26T23:54:27.754-06:002012-02-26T23:54:27.754-06:00I'm not a vegan but I think I would love delic...I'm not a vegan but I think I would love delicious treat!
