preparation

step 1 Preheat the oven to 325°F.

step 2 Take 12 pieces of Sweet Loren’s Lemon Cookie Dough and press them into an even layer in a 9-inch diameter springform cake pan. Bake it for 10-12 minutes then remove it from the oven and allow it to cool.

step 3 To make the cheesecake filling, add the cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Beat the ingredients together with a hand mixer until smooth.

step 4 In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy cream and beat until it turns into whipped cream. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.

step 5 Spread the cheesecake mixture onto the lemon cookie crust. Place it into the fridge for a few hours or overnight until the filling has set.

step 6 Release the cheesecake from the springform pan. For a topping option, add whipped cream of your choice, and garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves. Enjoy!
