Method
 

Prepare the crust

  2. Add the limoncello, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Bake the cheesecake
  1. 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.
  2. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  3. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Serve
