This is another popular cheesecake, commonly available in patisseries across the globe. The chocolate base combines superbly with the tanginess of lemon, making this as much of a connoisseur’s delight as it is a child’s treat. One thing you need to take care of is the perfect lemon rind for the perfect taste. Do not grate the lemon rind till its core; use only the yellow part and not the white. Before spreading the lemony sauce on the cheesecake, you can also spread a layer of fresh soft fruits of your choice.
