Lemon Cheesecake Squares Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan.
In a larger mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until everything is nicely incorporated.
Pour cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour or until ready to serve.
I await your comments! Enjoy!
