Leaving the oven shut then cracking the door the second time allows the cake to gradually cool. Do not place a hot cheesecake directly in the refrigerator or it will crack.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For more lemon flavor use a little more extract, but do not increase the lemon juice.&nbsp;Lemon oil could be used as well, but remember it&rsquo;s much more potent. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While this recipe doesn&rsquo;t call for it, you can certainly blind-bake your crust for about 8-10 minutes to ensure that it holds up and remains firm against the wet cheesecake filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Form your crust halfway up the sides of the springform. This helps to seal the cheesecake and will also result in a lovely thick crust base per cheesecake slice when it comes to serving your lemon cheesecake.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full fat dairy products helps to give the creamy texture and aids in the filling setting up. Sometimes if a cheesecake is runny, it&rsquo;s because low fat products were used.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"fun-facts-block\">   \n        <div class=\"wrap\">\n\t\t\t<h2 id=\"fun-fact\"   class=\"fun-fact-title\">Fun Fact<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>With proper care, lemon trees can live to be 100 years old! <a href=\"https:\/\/feastandfield.net\/read\/fruits-and-vegetables\/the-lowly-lemon-no-way-the-fruit-s-most-fascinating-facts\/article_8f8ff180-8f82-11ec-b99b-0b7dd30e3ef8.html#:~:text=Lemons%20are%20a%20cross%20between,be%20100%20with%20proper%20care.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">-Feast and Field<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n \n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lemon-cheesecake-hero3.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of lemon cheesecake on a plate with a fork.\" class=\"wp-image-52786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lemon-cheesecake-hero3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lemon-cheesecake-hero3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lemon-cheesecake-hero3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lemon-cheesecake-hero3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lemon-cheesecake-hero3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lemon-cheesecake-hero3-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lemon-cheesecake-hero3.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"recipe-faqs\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Recipe FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1656496011990\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does lemon cheesecake last?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Lemon cheesecake can be stored in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.&nbsp;Serve your stored cheesecake straight from the refrigerator or allow it to first thaw from frozen in the refrigerator before enjoying a slice (or two!).<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1656496025862\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What&rsquo;s The Difference Between Baked And No-Bake Cheesecake?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Great question! While I love<a href=\"https:\/\/thegirlinspired.com\/no-bake-cheesecake\/\">&nbsp;no-bake cheesecakes<\/a>&nbsp;due to the simplicity of the process, my heart has always belonged to a baked cheesecake. Yes, it may take extra time before you can enjoy it, but man&hellip;it&rsquo;s so worth it!<br><br>So what are the main differences between the two methods? A baked cheesecake includes eggs in the cheesecake filling, requires being baked in a water bath, and then cools before being refrigerated for a period of time before being served. On the other hand, a no-bake cheesecake does not include eggs and effectively sets in the refrigerator before being served.<br><br>If you ask most cheesecake lovers, the smooth and creamy texture of a baked cheesecake always trumps a no-bake cheesecake. That&rsquo;s not to say that no-bake cheesecake doesn&rsquo;t have its benefits &ndash; it&rsquo;s a great option if you need to whip up a delicious dessert without adding any baking time!&nbsp;<\/p>
