How to Make Lemon Jell O Cheesecake

  1. **Make the Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  2. **Press into Tin:** Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or a 23cm round tin.
  3. **Chill the Crust:** Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
  4. **Dissolve Jell-O:** In a small bowl, dissolve the lemon Jell-O in the boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  5. **Add Lemon Flavor:** Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  6. **Beat Cream Cheese:** In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth and creamy.
  7. **Combine Filling:** Add the vanilla extract and the dissolved Jell-O mixture to the cream cheese mixture.
  8. **Blend Well:** Beat until the filling is completely smooth and well combined.
  9. **Pour Filling:** Pour the filling over the chilled crust.
  10. **Chill and Set:** Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is completely set.
  11. **Optional Variations:** For a twist, substitute the lemon ingredients with lime zest and juice, or orange zest and juice for a different flavor profile.
