LW - LOVE LAVA CHEESECAKE


Had already said wise Camões: "Love is a fire that burns unseen; a wound that aches yet isn't felt,an always discontent contentment; a pain that rages without hurting;"! With that inspired poem we present the Lovers Day dessert. Surprise your sweetheart with this extremely creamy cheesecake, melting in your mouth, filled with strawberry lava. The recipe is so good that even the crust is delicious! Better than this cheesecake, only the beloved caress!

1/4 tsp baking soda

Cheesecake
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Boil some water.
Cream together sugar and cream cheese until is creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Whisk in heavy cream, vanilla extract and lemon juice until smooth. Place baked crust in small pans and spoon a little cheesecake mixture, then a little strawberry lava and complete with more cheesecake mixture. Place the small pans in a large pan with boiling water. Bake for about 45-55 minutes, until is firm, but not completely firm. Turn off the oven and keep the door close with cheesecake inside (they won't crack in the top). After 1 hour, remove from oven and let to cool in room temperature. Cover and chill in fridge.
