Scottish Lemon Cheese Pie

I planted to make Scottish Lemon Cheese Tassies, but being in a typical Christmas mood filled with tones of hectic the Tassies turned into a Scottish Lemon Cheese Pie which is easy and fast to prepare.

I am going to take this beautiful Scottish Lemon Cheese Pie to our neighbors house... where we are  invited for our second Christmas Dinner this year...Merry Christmas!

You need for the dough:

1 cup of all purpose flour

7 tbps of unsalted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 egg yolk

1/4 cup sugar

First place the flour and the ice cold butter in a food processor and pluse 5-7 times, then add one egg yolk, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and mix everything together until it forms a dough.

Place your dough in a round baking sheet and bake it about 12 -15 min in 350 F oven. Make sure that it is nice and golden brown.

Filling:

8 oz cream cheese (soft)

1/4 cup sugar

1 tbsp lemon zest

vanilla 

1tbsp. lemon juice

Mix all the ingredients together and then pour it on top of your baked crust. Bake it again for about 15 mins. Done!
