CREAMY LEMON CHEESECAKE
My friend Gwen gave me this creamy, lip-smacking recipe, and it's been a crowd-pleaser at my house ever since. The homemade lemon curd on top adds a tart, special touch! The cake can also be made in three store-bought graham cracker pie shells. -Anne Henry, Toronto, Ontario

LIGHT & CREAMY LAYERED LEMON CHEESECAKE
I am not a big cheesecake fan, but this is absolutely scrumptious! It is definitely one of my favorite desserts. I can never get enough of it. An added bonus is that it is super-easy to make! It's not at all tart, as some lemon recipes are, and the cream cheese flavor is just enough. Delicious! It's perfect for pot-lucks, get-togethers...anything! It does require refrigeration before serving; cook time includes refrigeration time.

HOW TO MAKE A LAYERED CHEESECAKE, A TRUE BAKING …
From tasteofhome.com
Author Lisa KaminskiPublished Mar 29, 2021
- Prep the Pan. Whenever you make cheesecake—be it a fancy layered option or even this delicious chocolate swirled cheesecake—you need to properly prep the springform pan.
- Make the Crust. Next, it’s time to get going on the crust. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and a teaspoon of lemon zest. Fresh zest is the best here!
- Stir Up the Cheesecake Batter. When it comes to the cheesecake batter, start with a good quality cream cheese at room temperature. These cream cheese brands are our Test Kitchen’s favorites (you’ll find them in our fridges at Taste of Home HQ).
- Divide the Batter. Because this is a layered cheesecake, you’ll need to divide the batter into three equal portions. You can use a kitchen scale, large cookie scoop or measuring cup to get the measurements exact.
- Pour in the First Layer. This is where this layered cheesecake starts to really take shape (and you have to start exercising a little patience).
