Ingredients (Serves 6–8) 

Instructions

Step 1 — Make the crust

• Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs.
• Mix with melted butter until evenly coated.
• Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan (about 8-inch / 20 cm).
• Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 2 — Prepare the whipped cream with a n2o charger

• Pour heavy cream into your whipped cream dispenser.
• Add half of the powdered sugar (40 g) for sweetness.
• Charge with one whip cream charger, shake 30 times, and refrigerate until needed.(If you are using a 9g cartridge, you can use it directly. If you are using a large cream charger, you will need to use a pressure regulator.)

Step 3 — Make the Parmesan cream cheese mixture

• In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
• Add grated Parmesan, the remaining powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
• Mix until creamy and well combined.

Step 4 — Combine & assemble

• Gently fold the whipped cream into the Parmesan cream cheese mixture.
• Spoon the mixture onto the chilled crust, smoothing the top.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 5 — Serve & enjoy

• Remove from the pan and slice with a warm knife for clean edges.
• Optionally garnish with a light dusting of Parmesan or fresh herbs for a savory touch.

Tips for Success

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.

Don’t overmix when folding in the whipped cream — you want to keep the airy texture.

Try adding a pinch of black pepper to the filling for a subtle kick.
