What You’ll Need for the Crust
2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
1/3 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Butter, Melted
And the Cheesecake Filling
3 (8 oz) Cream Cheese, Softened
1 cup Sour Cream
1 1/3 cups Sugar
1 tbsp Lemon Zest
3 Eggs
2 Egg Yolks
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Lemon Juice

How to Make Lemon Cheesecake Bars
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
Pulse 14-15 graham cracker sheets in a food processor to make 2 cups crumbs. Then pulse in 1/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter to form crust.
Press crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan firmly and evenly. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat together 3 (8 oz) softened cream cheese and 1 cup sour cream until smooth.
Add in 1 1/3 cups sugar and 1 tbsp lemon zest and beat until smooth. Then beat in 3 eggs and 2 egg yolks until just combined.
Fold in 1/3 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup lemon juice until combined.
Pour filling over the crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 38 minutes, or until edges have set and the center is a little jiggly.
Remove from oven and let cool. Then refrigerate until completely cooled and set.
