The Dreamy Lemon Cheesecake That Tastes Like Sunshine 🍋✨

I cut one slice to "make sure it set properly" and somehow a second slice followed me back to the kitchen. 😅 This creamy lemon cheesecake is bright, silky, and just the right amount of tangy, with a buttery crumb crust and swirls of luscious whipped topping around the edge. It's the kind of dessert that feels fancy but disappears like an everyday treat. Save this recipe and tag the person who always chooses lemon dessert over chocolate!

Yield: 12 large servings

Ingredients
For the Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp granulated sugar
For the Lemon Cheesecake Filling
24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 cup (180ml) sour cream
1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Lemon Whipped Topping
1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
3 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
For Garnish
Extra lemon zest
Thin lemon slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with foil.
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the sugar and mix until fully combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time on low speed.
Mix in the sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until silky smooth.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
Place the pan in a larger baking dish and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
Bake the lemon cheesecake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the center is just slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until stiff peaks form. Pipe decorative swirls around the edge of the cheesecake.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest and serve chilled.

Serving Suggestion: Enjoy with a hot cup of tea or fresh berries for a bright, bakery-style dessert that's perfect for spring and summer gatherings.
