Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this pie to life:

  • 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

Now, let’s get down to business! Follow these steps to create your Lemon Cheesecake Pie:

  1. First, preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This pie needs the right heat to set perfectly!
  2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until it’s all combined and crumbly.
  3. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust. Make sure it’s packed tightly. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, then take it out and let it cool.
  4. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth. Gradually add in 1 cup of sugar and continue to mix until combined.
  5. Now, stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Keep mixing until everything is well blended.
  6. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Don’t overdo it – we want a smooth filling!
  7. Pour this luscious filling into your cooled crust and smooth out the top.
  8. Bake the pie for about 45 minutes or until the center is set. It should still have a little jiggle but shouldn’t be too wobbly.
  9. Once done, let it cool on the countertop for about an hour, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.

And there you have it! A scrumptious Lemon Cheesecake Pie that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Slice it up, share the love, and enjoy every creamy bite!
