Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Press the mixture into the bottom of a lined 8×8 inch dish. Make sure it’s tightly packed for a solid base.
- Create the cheesecake mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract; mix until creamy and well-blended.
- Assemble the layered delight: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread it evenly. Ensure the surface is nice and flat for perfect presentation!
- Chill to perfection: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until firm. This step ensures every bite is refreshing and cohesive.
