  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar

– ¼ cup sour cream
– ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

Creating Easy Homemade Cheesecake can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
3. Form Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
4. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add the granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
5. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
7. Pour Filling: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake: Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
9. Cool: Turn off the oven and crack the oven door. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour.
10. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.

These steps will guide you in creating an incredible cheesecake that’s sure to impress.
