Description

There’s something magical about slicing into a rich, velvety cheesecake — that creamy texture, the subtle sweetness, the perfect bite. Whether you’re celebrating a summer birthday or cozying up by the fire in winter, this recipe will become your new favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 and 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240g) sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Optional toppings: Fresh berries, Caramel or chocolate sauce, Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then mix in sour cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and flour. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
  3. Wrap the outside of the pan tightly with two layers of foil. Place into a roasting pan. Pour cheesecake batter over crust, smoothing the top.
  4. Boil a kettle of water. Place roasting pan with cheesecake into oven. Carefully pour hot water into outer roasting pan halfway up the sides. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  5. Turn off oven, crack door open, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Remove from water bath and foil, chill in fridge at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Top with fresh berries, caramel drizzle, or whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Let cheesecake sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving for ultimate creaminess.
