Almost No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake

If you are impatient, like me, you don't want to have to wait 24 hours for a cheesecake to cool down before you get to eat it! I am not very patient and when I've make a cheesecake it is a MUST to wait for it to cook, cool down, and then refrigerated overnight before you can even eat it! AHHHH!
I came up with a speedier method for a cheesecake that can be made in about 4 hours instead of 24 hours! YIPPEE!!!
Yes....it still requires a bit of patience but only a little...uh, huh!

This is not a traditional cheesecake as it is completely egg free...therefore it is not a custard pie. However, no worries because you won't sacrifice the rich creamy, smooth texture associated with cheesecake. This recipe promises the most decadent parts of a cheesecake: the cream cheese and sour cream.
The secret to getting this to set up into a firm, sliceable wedge of pie is the fresh lemon juice. When lemon juice and dairy come together a magical chemistry thing happens...it gets firm and thickens up.
Chemistry is a good thing here!

As the recipe says, "Almost No-Bake" as I bake the graham cracker crust for 7 minutes so set it up firm. That is all the baking required here.

I know you will like this and it will satisfy your instant gratification sweet tooth.
Enjoy!
