  • 5 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Set aside.
