Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

  6. Fold in the sour cream until smooth.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour.
  9. Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature.
  10. Prepare the jelly topping by melting jelly and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat.
  11. Once the cheesecake is cooled, pour the jelly mixture over the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  12. Remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!

Notes
