Best Ever Lemon Cheesecake image

This cheesecake is wonderful, so creamy and lemony I could inhale it. This a large recipe, it does make a lot of cake, the recipe could be halved. I top this with whipped cream. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

Time 21m

Yield 1 cake, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temp
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375f.
  • Spray or grease a 10 inch spring form pan.
  • To make the crust, melt the butter and combine with the cracker crumbs and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Spread the crumb mixture in the baking pan pressing it firmly into the base and level with the bottom of a measuring cup.
  • Bake for 5 mins, remove from oven and allow to cool till needed, refridgerate if not using immediatley.
  • Lower the oven temp to 325f.
  • Use an electric mixer on slow to beat the cream cheese till creamy and no lumps remain, scrape down the bowl a couple of times.
  • Add sugar and salt until well blended, then add eggs one at a time maiing sure mixture is smooth before adding the next. Scrape down the bowl.
  • Stir in the lemon,lemon zest, vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream till just smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 325f for 45-50 minutes. The edges of the cake will look set but the centre will still jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the oven door open slighty and aallow the cake to cool in the oven for one hour.
  • Remove from the oven and run a knife around the outside of the cake to allow the cake to contract without cracking. Refridgerate overnight. I top mine with whipped cream. Enjoy.

This cheesecake is amazing! It's the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the texture is to die for. I love that it's not too dense, so it's easy to eat even after a big meal.

I've tried many lemon cheesecake recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and buttery, the filling is smooth and creamy, and the lemon flavor is perfectly balanced. I highly recommend this recipe!

I'm not usually a fan of lemon desserts, but this cheesecake changed my mind. It's so light and refreshing, and the lemon flavor is just perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.

This cheesecake was a huge success at my last dinner party. Everyone raved about it! I especially loved the lemon curd topping. It added a nice tanginess that really complemented the sweetness of the cheesecake.
