Ingredients
  

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh fruit or fruit topping (optional) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

    Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, scraping down the sides as necessary, and mix until fully combined. Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sour cream until smooth.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

        Combine the Mixtures: Once fully combined, pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

          Chill the Cheesecake: Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set. For best results, chill overnight.

            Serve: Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve with fresh fruit or your favorite fruit topping, if desired. Enjoy your delicious no-bake Woolworth cheesecake!
