Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix eggs, sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, and butter in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, watching for lumps forming, 15 to 20 minutes. Strain lemon filling into a bowl and let cool for 1 hour.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Press pie crust into an ungreased 9-inch pie pan; prick several times with a fork.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4

Combine flour, brown sugar, and butter in a bowl for the streusel topping and set aside.

Step 5

Mix cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Spread cheesecake mixture into the pie crust, cover with cooled lemon filling, and top with the streusel.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set and streusel is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
