Ensure that all the crumbs are coated in butter.

Allow your crumbs to cool while adding the sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese which are at room temperature.

Sprinkle in the cornstarch carefully making sure it is evenly distributed.

Add lemon juice, egg substitute and vanilla and mix them smoothly.

Pour it on your pan making sure it doesn't go over the edge of the pan.

Incase bubbles appear on the surface run a knife through the lemon cheesecake and burst any bubble.

Check after 30 minutes to ensure everything looks ok.

Bake your cake for 40-45 minutes until the edges are brown or tiny cracks start appearing on the edges. Make sure the center of your cake doesn't jiggle when you shake your pan. If it does it may require a few more minutes.

Transfer it to a wire rack and cool fully, then chill it in your fridge for at least 3 hours before serving.
