Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a large bowl.

Drizzle in melted butter and mix until moistened, resembling wet sand.

Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and press down firmly to form a crust.

Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.

In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.

Add sour cream and lemon juice, mixing until combined.

Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to maintain its lightness.

Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to set.
