Lemon Cheesecake

Lemon cheesecake is a restaurant-level dish in your kitchen. With this recipe I pay tribute to the famous food blogger Olesya Kuprin. I have been collecting books by this (and other) author in the instaculinary series from the very beginning of their release. Lemon curd in this cheesecake is probably the most delicious. And in combination with the rest of the layers - crispy toasted cookies, tender cottage cheese and cream cheese - the cake produces an incredible effect.
