I also added gelatine, mixed with heated lemon juice. It set in 2 hours. Delicious and slightly less high calorie than a normal cheesecake.

You mentioned that this doesn't set very well, so I took the liberty of adding a sachet of gelatine (=2 1/2 teaspoons) to the filling. I microwaved a little of the lemon juice so that it was hot enough to disolve the gelatine into and it worked a treat.. the cinnamon in the crust was yummy and over all the taste was great. We did have quite a bit if trouble getting the slices out of the pan (the crust really stuck) but maybe increasing the butter just a little would help that ??? The lemon was pretty strong, but not overpowering in this, perfect for a real lemon lover like me so I will be adding this to my family handwritten recipe book and I have given it a well deserved 4 stars. Thanks !!!
