Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust.
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the sugar until well combined.
- Add sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
Baking
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges look set but the center still jiggles.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serving
- Serve chilled and optionally top with fresh blueberries.
- For an extra pop of flavor, drizzle with lemon curd or raspberry sauce.
