SUPER SIMPLE INGREDIENTS! THE MAJORITY OF THESE COMPONENTS ARE PROBABLY ALREADY STASHED AWAY IN YOUR CUPBOARDS. THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
THE CRUST INGREDIENTS: 
  • 1½ Cups.Of graham cracker crumbs.
  • ¼ Cup.Of white sugar. 
  • ¼ Cup.Of butter – melted. 
  • A pinch.Of salt. 
THE CHEESECAKE INGREDIENTS: 
  • 4 Pkgs.Of 8-ounces of cream cheese softened to room temp. 
  • An 8-ounces Pkg.Of sour cream. 
  • 1½ Cup.Of granulated sugar. 
  • 5 large eggs. 
  • 1 Tbsp.Of Vanilla extract.  
  • 1 Tbsp.Of lemon zest. 
PREPARATION: 

Step 1: Turn on the oven to 325 degrees. Spray your springform pan with cooking spray, line the bottom with a paper circle, then repeat the spraying process on top of the parchment. 

Step 2: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. It should have the consistency of wet sand. The crumb mixture is then pressed evenly into the springform pan. 

Step 3: For a uniform crust, push it down with the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup. Put in the oven for ten minutes. Set aside some time to calm down entirely. 

Step 4: After softening the cream cheese, place it in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle and beat on medium-high speed for approximately 1 minute. After scraping down the bowl’s edges and bottom, continue beating for a few more seconds. 

Step 5: To the sour cream, add the sugar, and mix on a medium to low speed until mixed. Repeat scraping and blending for another 10 seconds. 

Step 6: To the mixture, add the eggs and beat on low speed for 30 seconds-1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth. Redo the scraping of the bowl. Flavor with vanilla extract and lemon peel. Mix until a smooth consistency is reached. The batter is ready when it is smooth and moderately runny. 

Step 7: Cover the outside of your springform pan with four layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil, 18 inches in diameter. While standard aluminum foil will work, you may need an extra sheet or two to completely seal off the pan from the water. 

Step 8: Put the covered pan into a large, deep roasting pan. A baking sheet can do in a pinch; just make sure the sides are at least 2 inches deep. You should pour the cheesecake batter into your springform pan. 

THE BAKING PROCESS OF YOUR CHEESECAKE: 

Step 1: Fill the baking sheet with boiling water until it reaches approximately 1 1/2 inches below the rim of the springform pan. Place your pan gently in the oven on a rack in the lowest third. 

Step 2: Bake for 1 hour. After an hour, test the cheesecake to see whether it’s done. Try giving the pan (still inside the oven) a little bounce to see whether it’s done. The cheesecake has to have some give, but not be runny. Wait 15 minutes and re-evaluate if it still appears extremely liquid. 

Step 3: After the cheesecake has reached a firm but jiggly consistency, turn off the oven but keep it closed for another hour or two until the oven has cooled down. Don’t go opening the oven till the timer goes off! 

Step 4: To remove the cheesecake from the pan, wait until both the oven and the cheesecake have cooled. 

Step 5: Place in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 6 hours. To make removal of the springform pan easier, run a knife along the edge of the pan just before serving. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy it!
