The ultimate spring and summertime cheesecake! Print Ingredients Crust: 2 cups finely ground graham crackers (about 30 squares) 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted Filling: 1 pound cream cheese, room temperature 3 eggs, room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 pint sour cream, room temperature 1 lemon, zested 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Warm Lemon Blueberries: 1 pint blueberries 1 lemon, zested and juiced 2 tablespoons sugar Instructions Preheat the oven to 325ºF For the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the ingredients with a fork until evenly moistened. Lightly coat the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the crumbs into the pan and, using the bottom of a measuring cup, press the crumbs down into the base and up the sides. Freeze for 5 minutes. For the Filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on low speed for 1 minute until smooth and free of any lumps. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue to beat slowly until combined. Gradually add sugar and beat until creamy, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. The batter should be well-mixed but not over-beaten. Pour the filling into the crust-lined pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45 minutes. Turn off the oven and let cool in the oven for 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator, loosely covered, for at least 4 hours. Lemon Blueberry Sauce: In a small saucepan add all the ingredients and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes or so until the fruit begins to break down slightly. Let cool for a few minutes before spooning over the cheesecake. Love Lemon? Me Too! Check out my favorite lemon recipes! Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls These sweet rolls were insanely delicious.

It’s sunny summer perfection in a donut. And if you don’t own a donut pan…don’t worry!

A sweet lemon syrup drenches both layers of cake, and it is BY A MILE, the best part of this cake. So after the cake and after the lemon syrup goodness, comes the cream cheese frosting. It’s fairly basic, just your standard cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar frosting. But we’re also adding a splash of REAL lemon juice, and that’s the clencher. It brings all the elements of the cake together and perfectly balances the tart from all of the lemon.
