Creating Your Luscious Lemon Cheesecake ?

In a bowl, combine your crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Ensure everything is mixed well.
Form your crust by pressing this mixture firmly into your prepped baking dish. Chill it in the refrigerator while you get started on your filling.
Dissolve the lemon Jello in boiling water in a small bowl. Make sure it’s fully dissolved, then set it aside to cool.
In a separate large bowl, whip up a creamy blend of cream cheese and confectioners sugar.
Once your Jello is cooled, add it into the cream cheese mixture along with lemon juice, lemon zest, and whipping cream. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Pour this filling over your graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill your cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until it sets.
Once set, serve your Lemon Cheesecake and watch it disappear!
