This cheesecake is creamier than most cheesecakes, and very easy to make. Use grated lemon zest or 1 teaspoon lemon extract for flavoring.

A keeper\!
It was a very easy recipe to follow, just have all the ingredients ready. I made the graham cracker crust from scratch, it works perfectly, use more lemon zest than require and the taste improved completely.

I made the cheesecake with 1/2 cup of sugar as suggested and one teaspoon of vanilla instead of two. I also added a dash of salt. I increased the lemon zest to a whole teaspoon, and used 8 oz of cream cheese and 8 oz of sour cream. I beat it with the hand mixer for about 5-6 minutes. I put 1/2 a roast pan of water in on the same rack as the cheesecake to keep it moist while it bakes. It baked for 41 minutes. I left it to sit overnight in the refrigerator. The next day it was a little firm for my liking, so I probably could have done 35 minutes instead of 41. Other than that it was pretty good.

This cheese cake is amazing and so easy to make! My husband is a huge fan, so I made it for our anniversary. He requested again for his birthday! 🥳 Since it’s so good, I’ve made it as a gift for friends & family too! Everyone has been a huge fan. The water bath helps when pre heating the oven, baking with water and allowing to cool for one hour with the water bath still in the oven. I use a roasting pan, filled halfway with water, bottom rack. Bake the cake on the top rack. This method has proved time and time again to alleviate cracks as well as keeping the cake moist! Thanks for the tips members! If I could give this more than five stars I surely would! 🤩

My picture didn’t turn out as pretty as the others. For some reason the center of the cheesecake would not firm up. I had it in the oven for 25 minutes, and then another 15 mins checking every 3-5 mins. I followed the instructions to a T. I had enough to fill out the crust. I think I should go with a deeper crust if possible as it was starting to overflow a bit. I’m still learning how to cook, so I think I did ok with my first pass at it. It was an extremely easy recipe to follow and would also be easy to add chocolate, pumpkin, or other flavors & toppings. I will try this again and hopefully it will be worthy of a pic.
