Lemon Curd Cheesecake Dessert Cups

Print Recipe

A delightful dessert that combines creamy cheesecake with zesty lemon curd, served in individual cups for a sweet-tangy twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup lemon curd
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Fresh berries for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix well until all the crumbs are coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Set the crust in cups: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into each cup, pressing it down gently to form a compact layer.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  5. Incorporate the lemon curd: Fold the lemon curd and the lemon zest into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  6. Layer the filling: Spoon the lemon cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each cup.
  7. Chill: Cover the dessert cups and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
  8. Garnish and serve: Top each cup with fresh berries before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a dollop of additional lemon curd on top before serving.
