1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh meyer lemon juice

This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I think I might have overcooked it a bit.
