I remember my aunts making this, and I feared the instructions were gone, but fortunately, I rediscovered them. It's tastier than I remembered.

Layered lemon cheesecake cups are a delightful fusion of creamy cheesecake and zesty lemon curd, perfect for those who appreciate a balance of sweet and tangy flavors. This dessert is inspired by the classic cheesecake, a beloved dish with roots tracing back to ancient Greece, combined with the refreshing taste of lemon curd, a staple in British cuisine. These cups are not only visually appealing but also offer a convenient way to serve individual portions, making them an excellent choice for gatherings or special occasions.
These layered lemon cheesecake cups pair wonderfully with a light, crisp white wine or a refreshing iced tea. For a more indulgent experience, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Fresh berries, such as raspberries or blueberries, can also complement the lemony notes beautifully, adding a burst of color and flavor to your presentation.
