Ingredients

16 servings

For the crust

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 15 full crackers)
3 tbsp granulated sugar
¼ tsp fine salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the filling

24 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides to use as handles for lifting the bars out later.
2
Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground, or seal them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have 2 cups of fine crumbs. Stir together the crumbs, 3 tbsp sugar, and salt in a medium bowl, then pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed.
