Ingredients
  

8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened

1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar

1/4 cup (60 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Gradually add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until fully combined and the mixture is light and fluffy. The lemon juice will add a refreshing tang to the creaminess.

      Spoon the lemon cream cheese mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula. Make sure to fill the crust to the edges.

        Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set. For best results, let it chill overnight.

          Once chilled, slice into wedges and serve chilled. For an extra touch, you can garnish with lemon slices or zest on top. Enjoy your delicious and zesty lemon cream cheese cake!
