Lemon Cheesecake with Lemon Curd

I´ve been using a lot of lemon in my recipes lately, I don´t even know it got to this point. But lemon curd is soooo good. I made some cookies filled with lemon curd last time so I had one full jar left. I preserved it and now was a good time for Lemon Cheesecake with Lemon Curd. Cheesecake is made with cream cheese and whipped cream, which makes it incredibly soft, since I don´t like dry cheesecakes. Cheesecake has a pleasant non-artificial lemon taste thanks to only two lemons. Sweet and sour lemon curd on the top of the cheesecake is a perfect match to this creamy cheesecake. And the best part is that you can use as much lemon curd as you want – you can use up the leftover one from previous baking, as I did. I used words cheesecake and lemon curd many times so let me finish with just one thing – batter and lemon cream make a delicious lemon taste explosion which shouldn´t be missed by any lemon lovers.
