Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and eggs; mix until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and bake for 25-30 minutes until just set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from oven and cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, lift out using parchment paper edges and cut into squares to serve.
