  • Total Time: 4 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional: fresh berries or mint for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press into a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  2. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Pour over cooled crust.
  3. Bake for 15-20 minutes until just set. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe over chilled lemon cheesecake. Garnish with lemon slices, berries, or mint leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cheesecake is fully cooled before refrigerating to prevent cracks.
  • For a lighter version, use coconut whipped cream instead of heavy cream.
  • Garnish with extra lemon zest, fresh berries, or mint for visual appeal.
