Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1/2 cup lemon curd
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of lemon curd onto the filling and use a knife to swirl it into the cheesecake mixture for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set. Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting into bars.
