Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
While the pie is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest in a bowl.
Once the pie is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C).
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top of the pie.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Allow the pie to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Garnish with lemon slices if desired before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a more intense lemon flavor, add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. You can also try using a chocolate graham cracker crust for a different flavor profile. If you’re short on time, consider using a pre-made pie filling and simply add the lemon zest to it. For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
