While I love a traditional cheesecake, I always think there’s something a little bit more sophisticated about serving individual portions to your guests. This version is rich and creamy, balanced with a deliciously tart hit from homemade lemon curd.

These little cheesecakes are a perfect summer dessert and truly celebrate summer berries when they are at their finest. If you prefer to make one large cheesecake and serve individual slices, just pour the mixture into a 20cm (8in) non-stick springform tin and allow to longer setting time in the fridge.
