Ingredients
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
12 mini graham cracker crusts
2 tbsp fresh lemon zest
Instructions
Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until completely smooth and free of lumps.
Add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Pour the fresh lemon juice and zest into the mixture while blending on low speed.
Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the lemon mixture using a rubber spatula.
Spoon the lemon cheesecake mixture evenly into the graham cracker tart shells.
Smooth the surfaces using a small offset spatula.
Place the tarts on a flat tray and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm.
Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for the best acidity. Garnish with extra lemon zest or fresh berries before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
