STEP 4
Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer, combine cream cheese, mascarpone, sugar, lemon rind, honey and salt in the bowl.

Pour cheesecake filling over the prepared base. Drizzle extra honey over the surface of the cheesecake to decorate then refrigerate overnight to set.

Serve with lip smacking honeycomb for that extra crunchy, chewiness goodness we all love!
