Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, and room-temperature eggs, whisking until blended. Heat over low-medium, stirring until the mixture thickens (about 8-10 minutes) without boiling. Strain, stir in unsalted butter, cover with cling wrap, and chill.
- Blend graham crackers into fine crumbs in a food processor. Combine with melted unsalted butter until moistened. Reserve some for garnish, distribute the mixture into cups, and press firmly to create the base.
- Beat cream cheese with superfine sugar until smooth. Fold in the chilled lemon curd. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into the cheesecake mixture.
- Pipe half of the cheesecake mousse into each cup, smooth it out. Add a spoonful of lemon curd, then pipe the remaining mousse over it.
- Chill assembled cups for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle with reserved graham cracker crumbs before serving and consider adding a sprig of mint for decoration.
