Pour the Graham cracker mix into the springform pan and spread it evenly.
Press it with a base of a glass or cup to make it firm and level.
Making the cheesecake filling
Put the cream cheese in the large bowl of a stand mixer.
Using the wire attachment whisk the cream cheese until smooth. (start from low speed and increase to 6)
Add the icing sugar and continue whisking until it is mixed well.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice and continue whisking.
Increase the speed from low(2) to medium (6).
Continue whisking until the mixture becomes glossy and smooth and the peaks are semi-soft. This can take about 2 minutes.
Transfer the filling into the springform pan on top of the crust and spread it evenly with a cake leveler or a spatula.
