Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 stick butter (melted)
  • 4 packages cream cheese (8 ounces each, softened)
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar (1/4 cup for crust)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 eggs

Instruction

  • Combine melted butter, crumbs, and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir until well combined and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan and bake at 350 for 10 minutes, or until very lightly browned.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sugar. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix the cheesecake batter until well combined and creamy.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and bake at 300 for 55 minutes or until set in the center. *Notice I lowered the temperature from when I baked the crust - that's one of those important steps!
  • Cool and then refrigerate for several hours before serving. Cut into twelve squares.
  • Serve alongside your toppings bar for a dessert everyone is sure to love!
