How to Make Suzie's Lemonade Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup sugar. Mix well and press into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Reserve 2 tablespoons of crumbs for topping.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 16 ounces softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add ¾ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup lemon juice, and 2 large eggs until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the lemon mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the lemon-cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust.
  6. Optional: Spread one (14 ounce) can of your favorite lemon pie filling evenly over the cheesecake batter for an extra layer of lemon flavor.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs over the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is still slightly jiggly. Do not overbake.
  9. Let the cheesecake cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
