1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and a pinch of salt in a bowl until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
2
Make the cheese filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest until fully incorporated.
3
Combine and bake
Pour the cheese filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
4
Cool and serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.
