Lemon Cheesecake is creamy, smooth, and loaded with citrus flavor
Ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat until fully combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Optionally, top with whipped cream or fresh lemon slices before serving.
