The Perfect Combination of Sweet and Tangy
Ingredients:
Graham cracker crumbs – for the crust
Butter – to bind the crust together
Cream cheese – for the creamy texture
Sugar – for sweetness
Eggs – to hold everything together

The sweetness of the graham cracker crust, combined with the creaminess of the cheese filling and the tanginess of the lemon, creates a perfect balance of flavors that will leave your taste buds begging for more.
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.
Step 3: Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth out the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Step 4: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving.
