To máke it, you will stárt with á simple homemáde gráhám crácker crust: gráhám crumbs, cráckers, melted butter ánd sugár. You will mix it ánd put it in á pán, then báke for ábout 5 minutes when you fill it. I áctuálly use á mini cheesecáke pán for this, this is the sáme pán thát I háve ánd this one is the sáme one.

To fill this cheesecáke, you will use some creám cheese, sugár, lemon ánd skin juice, vánillá, eggs, ánd one egg yolk. I usuálly only put 1 egg into my mini cheesecáke, but I like the extrá weálth ádded by extrá yellow to this. You cán store egg whites ánd use them in this creámy stráwberry or sweet pecán turnover creám. Both áre recipes thát I reálly like!

I reálly wánt the lemon flávor to reálly shine in this mini cheesecáke, so you will use 3 táblespoons of fresh lemon juice ánd 1 lemon (ábout 1 táblespoon). This cheesecáke is very lemony, but not too sour. If you prefer á little lemon flávor, you cán reduce á little lemon fát.
