In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk gradually, continuing to mix until well blended and free of lumps.
Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
Before serving, optionally spread whipped topping over the cheesecake for additional creaminess and decoration.
