This is the recipe I've been using for years. If you like, use your favorite scratch recipe for the cake but I usually like to simplify all I can.

This cheesecake is a waste of ingredients. Don't bother making it.

This cheesecake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland.

This cheesecake is okay. It's not the best I've ever had, but it's not bad either.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this one was pretty good. The lemon flavor was nice and tangy.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake out of the pan. I think I would use a springform pan next time.

The cheesecake was a bit dense for my liking. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a little too sour for my taste. I think I would add less lemon juice next time.

This cheesecake was a delight! The lemon flavor was perfectly balanced with the creaminess of the cheese. I loved the graham cracker crust, it added a nice crunch. My family and friends raved about it. Will definitely be making this again!
