Ingredients
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
⅔ cup sour cream
⅔ cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, and mix until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in sour cream and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
Pour filling over crust and smooth the top.
Bake for 55–70 minutes, until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Remove and let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve chilled, optionally with fresh fruit or whipped cream.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks.
A water bath can help prevent surface cracking.
Cheesecake can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge
