  4. In a food processor, blend soaked cashews, cooled lemon curd, vegan cream cheese, vegan yogurt, vanilla extract, and agave syrup until smooth. Pour over the crust.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to set.
  6. Warm the remaining lemon curd and spread over the set cheesecake. Refrigerate for an additional hour.
  7. Slice using a hot, wet knife and serve with fresh berries or mint leaves.
