Ingredients
Method
Prepare the crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
Make the filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the limoncello, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Bake the cheesecake
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Serve
- Top with whipped cream and garnish with lemon slices before serving.

Notes
For best results, use high-quality limoncello and allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for improved flavor and texture.
