No-bake Cheesecake

I love cheesecake. It's by far my favorite dessert and I can't recall coming across a flavor that I didn't like. Up until now my favorite homemade cheesecake was always the kind you make with sweetened condensed milk. This recipe was just as easy, but wasn't quite as sweet or lemony. Don't get me wrong, I still love the original recipe, but this one is a nice change of pace. Next time I make this one, I will add a splash of vanilla extract.

(I apologize for my lack of photos. I'm terrible about photographing my recipes!)

1 graham cracker pie crust
2- 8oz bricks of cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar*
3 tbsp lemon juice*
1/2 cup sour cream*
Strawberries, cherries or your favorite cheesecake topping (optional)

In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in sour cream and mix well. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with strawberries, cherries or your favorite cheesecake topping.

* I tasted the filling and added about 3 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice because the sour cream was a little strong. You can also substitute 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped, in lieu of the sour cream for a sweeter flavor.
