Ingredients List for Quick and Simple Christmas Cheesecake
To make Quick and Simple Christmas Cheesecake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
How to Cook Quick and Simple Christmas Cheesecake:
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended.
- Combine and Bake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and crack the door open to let the cheesecake cool slowly for about an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Serve: Before serving, top with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
