Mix the cream cheese until smooth and add the sugar, lemon rind and oil or juice. Beat in the eggs one at a time until blended thoroughly. Spread the lemon curd over the base to form a smooth layer. Pour the cheese mixture over the curd layer. Bake in a bain marie for 1-1/2 hours at 170°C / 335°F until golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin in the oven. Once removed from the tin, chill in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours before serving.
