A bright summery intensely lemon flavour New York style cheesecake that is decadently smooth and creamy.
ingredients
1 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs (gluten-free for gluten-free)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup sour cream (or heavy/whipping cream)
1 lemon (juice and zest)
directions
Mix the crumbs and butter and press into the bottom of a 6-7 inch springform pan.
Beat the cream cheese, beat in the eggs, one at a time followed by the sugar, sour cream, lemon juice and zest.
Pour the batter into the spring form pan, wrap the bottom of the pan in foil, place in a larger pan with a small amount of hot water and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until set, about 40-50 minutes. (It is recommended that you let the cheesecake cool completely on the counter and then chill it in the fridge overnight, but it’s also amazing while still warm from the oven!.)
