How to Make Lemon Cheesecake Squares
Step 1: Prep the Crust
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
Press firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add sugar and beat until creamy.
Mix in eggs one at a time.
Add flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat until silky smooth.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Pour filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth the top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the center is just set and edges look slightly puffed.
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
Once chilled, lift out using parchment overhang.
Slice into squares.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve cold.
🍽️ Tips and Twists
