How to Make No Bake Low Fat Lemon Cheesecake

  1. **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  2. **Press into pan:** Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or your fingers to create an even layer.
  3. **Prepare the filling:** In a blender or food processor, combine 16 ounces (2 cups) low-fat cream cheese, softened; ½ cup powdered sugar; ¼ cup fresh lemon juice; 1 teaspoon lemon zest; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; and ½ cup heavy cream. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. **Combine and chill:** Pour the creamy filling over the prepared crust. Cover the pie plate and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set (though it will remain soft).
  5. **Serve and enjoy:** Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with fresh lemon slices or berries, if desired.
