    2 tablespoons white sugar
    2 tablespoons melted butter

    For filling:
    1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Preparation

  • Fit the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan with a circle of parchment paper.
    Combine cookie crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Spread evenly into bottom of pan and refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until firm. To make cheese cake, combine sugar and cornstarch in a stainless steel saucepan.
    Dissolve unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup of the lemon juice. Whisk remaining lemon juice and beaten eggs in sugar and cornstarch mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring until mixture thickens to a medium-thick consistency. Remove from heat.

    Whisk in Mascarpone until smooth. Beat whipping cream in a bowl until stiff. Fold mascarpone mixture into whipped cream.
    Spoon cream mixture into prepared pan and smooth top with spatula. Seal top with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
    Run a small sharp knife along the edge of the inside cake pan rim to loosen cake.
    Remove sides of pan. Transfer dessert from metal base to a serving plate.
    To serve, garnish with fresh berries, lemon zest and a red berry sauce.
