METHOD:
Start by making the base. Place the biscuits in a food bag and crush with a rolling pin until they are crumbs. Combine well with the melted butter in a bowl until the biscuit crumbs are well coated with the butter. Pour into a spring-form or loose bottomed tin (around 25cm in diameter). Use the back of a metal spoon to press the crumbs down hard and evenly over the bottom of the tin. Place in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.
To make the filling, combine the soft cheese, lemon curd and ginger in a bowl. Mix well until smooth, but don't use an electric whisk with low fat soft cheese. Taste the mixture, and if you like the flavour quite sharp and lemony, fold in lemon juice and zest to taste. Taste the mixture, adding the lemon as you go, until it is as lemony as desired.
Spoon the creamy filling over the biscuit base being careful not to create air bubbles. This is easier to do if you start from the outside and work your way into the centre. Smooth the creamy filling all over the base evenly using the back of a spoon. Chill in the fridge over night.
Before serving, carefully remove the lemon and ginger cheesecake from the tin and slide it onto a plate. Decorate with some lemon zest if you wish.
