8ozfull-fat cream cheese,softened to room temperature
½cuppowdered sugar
1 ½tsplemon juice
½tspvanilla extract
1pinchsalt
Instructions
For crust, pulverize the graham crackers in a food processor, then transfer the crumbs to a small bowl. Stir in the sugar, then the melted butter. Press evenly into a pie plate. Place in the refrigerator.
Cheesecake Filling
Beat the cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Chill while you prepare the rest of the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until well blended. Fold in the whipped cream.
Spread the filling into the crust. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve plain, or top with fresh berries, pie filling, or chocolate or caramel sauce.
Notes
Chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before beating the cream - it will whip up faster and fluffier!
Bottled lemon juice gives a more traditional cheesecake flavor; fresh lemon juice will give you a lemon cheesecake flavor.
Cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. Either cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container.
