After I read all the reviews I decided to write my own. One of my girl friends had a wedding shower, and I (age 15) was asked to make a lemon cheesecake. After I decided to do this one, I changed a few things up and everyone loved it! I had people ask me for the recipe. Here are my revisions: The Filling, 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice not 1Tbsp, no lemon peel (I didn’t have any lemons) and 1 tsp. of lemon extract instead of vanilla. For the Topping, 1 tsp lemon extract/no vanilla. I also bake all my cheesecakes with a pan of hot water underneath so they don't crack.
