Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Optional Toppings:

• Fresh berries
• Chocolate ganache
• Caramel sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

   • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
   • Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
   • Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let it cool while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

   • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
   • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
   • Mix in vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth.

3. Assemble and Bake:

   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
   • Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan (water bath).
   • Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

4. Cool the Cheesecake:

   • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
   • Remove from the oven and cool completely at room temperature.
   • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice.
   • Add your favorite toppings and enjoy this creamy delight!

Tips for Success:

• Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth filling.
• Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks.
• A water bath helps create an even texture and minimizes cracking.
