A crisp Lotus biscuit base and smooth cream cheese filling come together in this café-style cheesecake recipe, offering a homemade alternative to expensive café slices.

To prepare the base, combine 1½ cups of Lotus biscuit crumbs with ¼ cup of melted butter and ¼ cup of sugar. Bake the mixture for five to 10 minutes.

For the filling, beat three cups of cream cheese with one cup of powdered sugar and three large eggs. Add half a cup of heavy cream, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, half a teaspoon of lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix until the filling becomes smooth.

Pour the filling over the baked crust and bake the cheesecake for about one hour. Leave it to cool, then refrigerate it for at least four hours. Add toppings before serving.
