LEMON CHEESECAKE
A cookie-like crust brings this luscious Lemon Cheesecake recipe to a league of its own. The thick and sweet bottom layer is created by pressing lemon-infused cake mix into a 10-inch pan. A small portion of that lemony mix is then combined with cream cheese, sugar, lemon pudding and sour cream to create an extra dense and creamy cheesecake filling with a splash of citrus. Pipe some whipped topping onto the finished masterpiece after it's baked and cooled, and you'll have yourself a sunny dessert that tastes like a dream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- For crust: Preheat oven to 350 and prepare 8 or 9 inch spring form pan (or deep dish 9 inch pie plate). In a food processor, crush crackers and measure out 1 1/4 cup. Return crumbs to processor, add sugar, pulse until evenly blended. Add egg white and pulse until moistened. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes until golden.
- Turn oven down to 325 degrees for cheesecake.
- Allow pie crust to cool while combining condensed milk and cream cheese (very important for ingredients to be at room temperature) on low to medium-low speed just until smooth, scraping down sides if needed. Sprinkle in cornstarch careful to be sure that it is evenly distributed. Add eggs, egg beaters, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice and combine on low speed until smooth - be careful not to overmix - scraping down the sides if needed.
- Pour into pie crust, but don't go over the edge (it will puff some and then deflate while cooling). If bubbles appear on surface, run knife through cheesecake and pop any visible bubbles.
- IF you have extra filling (if using a pre-made crust, you definitely will have leftover filling - this depends on size of your pie plate), spray ramekin with non-stick spray and bake 40 minutes, checking visually every 5 minutes after 30 minutes has gone by.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes (or more depending on your oven) until edges are just brown or tiny cracks appear on edges of cake and center does not jiggle when you shake the pan. Don't open the oven door more than necessary!
- Turn oven off and prop door open and allow cheesecake to cool for 30-45 minutes in oven. Transfer to wire rack and cool completely. Chill in fridge overnight or a minimum of three hours,. If using spring form pan, remove edges just before serving.

Steps:

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, room-temperature ingredients will produce the best results. For the cheesecake filling, use full-fat cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream. For the lemon curd, use fresh lemon juice and zest.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake filling: Overbeating can incorporate too much air into the filling, which can cause it to be light and fluffy instead of dense and creamy. Mix the filling just until it is smooth and combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This helps to create a more evenly cooked cheesecake and prevents the top from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: This allows the cheesecake to set and firm up. Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Serve the cheesecake with fresh fruit or whipped cream: This adds a refreshing touch and complements the tartness of the lemon curd.
Conclusion:
Kevin's Famous Hint of Lemon Cheesecake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy cheesecake filling, tangy lemon curd, and buttery graham cracker crust, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit.
