Fruit and Lemon Cheesecake

I just put the finishing touches on a Memorial Day cheesecake! I can't wait to take a bite of it. Doesn't it just look spectacular??

Mom had a great cheesecake recipe with fruit and a lemon glaze on top - that is still the best cheesecake I've ever had. She couldn't find it so I came up with my own version.

This is a New York Cheesecake - here's the recipe. This recipe is for a 10 inch pan - I only have a nine inch pan so I made 4/5 of the recipe. (Ah, see - this is why we are forced to learn to divide fractions in middle school!) This particular recipe calls for a shortbread crust - I used it even though usually I make a graham cracker crust.

Then, I toped it with strawberries, kiwi, and Lemon Curd. Here's the recipe for the Lemon Curd - I only used half of the recipe. You should surf around on this blog while you're checking out the Lemon curd - this girl takes the best pictures!
