How to Make Very Easy No Bake Lemon Cheesecake

Line the bottom and sides of a springform cake tin (approximately 20cm) with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang.
In a bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter. Press firmly into the base of the prepared tin.
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until stiff peaks form.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
Pour the filling over the biscuit base and smooth the top.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
Carefully run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the tin. Remove the sides of the tin and peel away the plastic wrap.
Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.
(Optional Lemon Topping): In a small saucepan, combine the lemon curd, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Once the topping is cool, spread it evenly over the cheesecake using a spoon and a knife dipped in hot water for smooth spreading.
Return the cheesecake to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the topping to set.
