Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, eggs, sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until well blended.
Once the crust has cooled slightly, pour the filling mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Cut the chilled bars into squares, serve them on a decorative plate, and enjoy.
