  1. ½ cup melted butter;
  2. 2 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (270g);

Filling:

  1. 3 packages (24 oz or 750g total) of cream cheese whole fat
  2. 1 ½ cups powdered icing sugar
  3. cup heavy whipping cream (30-35% fat ONLY)
  4. 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 1 lemon)
  5. zest of 2 lemons (or just 1 if you prefer a softer flavor)
  6. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Guidelines

  • Using parchment paper to line a 9-inch Springform pan is optional, but it facilitates simple removal when it’s set.
  • Press the butter and graham cracker crumbs mixture into the pan that has been prepared, going approximately 1/2″ up the sides.
  • Using an electric mixer set to medium speed, whip the cream cheese in a large bowl until it becomes smooth.
  • Beat in the vanilla, lemon zest, juice, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in the vanilla, lemon zest, juice, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Beat the heavy cream on high speed in a another medium-sized bowl until firm peaks form. Using a spatula, carefully fold the whipped cream and cream cheese together, being cautious not to deflate the cream.
  • If you want the filling to be sweeter or more lemony, taste it and add extra sugar or lemon zest.
  • After pouring filling onto crust, cover and chill for at least 6 hours, or better yet, overnight! Accompany with confectionery cream.
