For the brown sugar meringue:
Biscuits: if you don’t have digestive biscuits, you can swap for others like lotus or gingernuts. Just be aware you will have to adjust the butter (see ‘Substitutions and Variations’).
Room temperature: it is really important that your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it combines properly with the cream.
Gentle heat: make sure you keep the curd over a gentle heat and whisk constantly. Otherwise, you will end up with lemon scrambled eggs!
Serving suggestions: this Lemon Meringue Cheesecake is delicious with seasonal berries, berry coulis and/or whipped cream.
