Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing it and lining the base with parchment paper.
To make the crust, place the lactose-free graham crackers into a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Add the melted coconut oil and pulse again until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat glass to smooth it out. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the lactose-free cream cheese and lactose-free sour cream together until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and cornstarch, and continue beating until well incorporated.
Crack the eggs into the mixture, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could cause cracks in the cheesecake.
Pour the filling onto the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to release any air bubbles.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and once it has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and serve. Optionally, top with fresh berries or a lactose-free whipped topping for an extra layer of flavor.
