Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Press the mixture evenly into the foil-lined pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Bake the cheesecake at 350F for 22-25 minutes until the cheesecake is set. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Remove the cheesecake from the pan and cut into 16 square bars. Top with a dollop of lemon curd and Cool Whip. Serve chilled.
