Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Triple Lemon Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line the bottom of a 23 cm springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and combine with melted butter, then press into the springform pan and chill for 15 minutes.
  3. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then mix in sour cream and eggs one at a time.
  4. Fold in fresh lemon juice and zest gently, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the filling over the crust, dolloping lemon curd on top and swirling gently with a knife.
  6. Set the springform pan in a larger roasting tin, adding hot water halfway up the sides.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
  8. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing to cool gradually for 1 hour. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
