I wanted to ensure this lemon cheesecake was packed with as much lemon as possible. I added lemon juice, lemon zest and lemon curd. My mum loves lemon and I knew she would love this.

I adjusted the recipe but made sure it didn’t have too much liquid as the cheesecake would be too wet and wouldn’t set.

The lemon curd is amazing and does it’s job perfectly to help give it that lovely lucisious lemon flavour. I would recommend making this if you love lemon.
