⬇️ Lemon Cheesecake Squares 😋⬇️
Indulge in these creamy and zesty lemon cheesecake squares, perfect for a refreshing dessert! 🍋✨
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, mixing well.
Evenly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then take it out and allow it to cool slightly.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Incorporate the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition.
Add the sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. The center may have a slight jiggle but will firm up as it cools.
Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your delightful lemon cheesecake squares! 🍰💛
