It’s so easy, hardly anyone could do it! I made this lemon cheesecake recipe countless times, especially when my schedule was busy or the days were so nice, I couldn’t bear to stay inside for TOO long!
For a fun variation, try mixing up a simple strawberry glaze for the top or if you’re particularly daring try adding some slicing strawberries to your cheesecake!

Without the strawberries, this cheesecake is just as good so go ahead, this lemon cheesecake recipe will take no time at all!
