1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons meyer lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh meyer lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and didn't have a very good flavor.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking. I would have preferred a more solid crust.

The crust was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner, more delicate crust.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with regular lemons.
