Prepare: Make the lemon curd up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate until ready to use. Pre-soak the cashews in water for 4 hours, rinse, and drain. You can also quick-soak your cashews by soaking them in boiled water for 30 minutes. Line the base and sides of a 9" loaf pan with parchment paper.
Make the crust: Add the cookies and salt to a food processor and blitz for a minute or so until finely ground. Add the butter and blend again until the mixture sticks together between your fingers. Press the crust into the base of the pan and smooth it down with your fingers or using a spoon - make sure it is compact. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
Make the filling: Add 150g (about ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons) of the lemon curd to a high-speed blender with the other filling ingredients. Blitz until smooth and creamy without any lumps. Pour the filling into the pan and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours (or overnight) until set.
Add the topping: Add the remaining lemon curd to a saucepan and gently heat while stirring so that it becomes a spreadable consistency. Top the cheesecake with the curd and smooth it out with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Place back in the fridge for an hour, or set it in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing.
Serving and storage: Once set, use a hot wet sharp knife to cut it into servings. They will keep for up to 5 days in a covered container in the fridge. They should keep well in a freezer-safe container for up to a month. To serve, simply defrost in the fridge overnight.
