Ingredients:
- 2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs

- 1 jar of lemon curd, for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

- Add the granulated sugar and cornstarch and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until the filling is smooth.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cheesecake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the center is set but still jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside the oven for another 10-15 minutes with the door slightly ajar.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Spread lemon curd on top of the cheesecake before serving.
