Tips/Hints:
So yummy and so easy. I always double this recipe for the 5 of us as the servings are tiny.
Also very versatile. Nicest with fresh berries, but frozen beries are OK too. Dress it up with nuts and grated chocolate if you like.
I make this whenever I make lemon butter.
My first recipe so I hope I've got it right.

ES - I made this for dessert tonight as I had picked up a tub of light cream cheese for 99c, and I can't resist a bargain! I'm glad I followed your advice and doubled the recipe as it made 4 serves. I used some of CP's cornflake biscuits for the crumb, and the odd choc chip was really yummy. I only had about a tablespoon of lemon curd left, so I added a tablespoon of lime juice and swirled through some runny strawberry jam that I'd made. I used BD Paris Creek's dessert yoghurt, and I had some fresh blueberries in the fridge, so I added these as well. It was really yummy! Oh, and I made it in my Thermochef without adjusting the recipe.
snappy - I did add 2 tsp of icing sugar to the cream cheese as I have a sweet tooth! This made 3 very small little glasses - I would say it serves 2. Definitely double the recipe if there are four adults! These were yummy - great idea if there are only two of you but you feel like a cheesecake! Will be making on a regular basis throughout summer.
mab19 - Made this for dessert when my girlfriend came for lunch yesterday and it was a real hit. I doubled the recipe as suggested and served it with raspberry coulis and a dob of lemon curd. Will certainly be making it again.
