Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, mix in the lemon juice.

Combine and bake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
