Description

Creamy lemon curd and crunchy graham crackers create a stunning dessert. Perfect for a special occasion or a delightful weeknight treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 340 g (12 oz) cream cheese
  • 237 ml (1 cup) heavy cream
  • 237 ml (1 cup) prepared lemon curd
  • kosher salt
  • 20 whole graham crackers
  • blueberries

Instructions

  1. Line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing at least a 4 inch overhang.
  2. Beat cream cheese with heavy cream in a large bowl until smooth and just firm. Fold in the lemon curd and a pinch of salt.
  3. Spread a 1/4-inch layer of the lemon cream on the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers on top, breaking them as needed to fit. Repeat the layering with the remaining cream and crackers, finishing with a final layer of cream.
  4. Cover cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  5. Uncover and invert cheesecake onto a platter, removing plastic wrap. Top with blueberries and cut into slices.

Notes

  • For a smoother cheesecake, ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before beating.
  • If you don’t have prepared lemon curd, you can easily make your own using a recipe found online. Allow it to cool completely before using.
  • To prevent the graham crackers from becoming soggy, ensure the lemon curd is not too runny. You may need to adjust it slightly.
