Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 32 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Zest of 3 lemons
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Wrap the outside of a springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar. Add melted butter and mix until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even crust.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually add white sugar and mix until well combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then incorporate heavy whipping cream, sour cream, cornstarch, and lemon extracts along with the zests until smooth.
  5. Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan and bake for about 85 minutes or until set but slightly wobbly in the center. Let it cool completely before removing from the pan.
