Description

This cheesecake features a rich, creamy filling made with cream cheese and a buttery graham cracker crust. It’s easy to make and perfect for any celebration or as an everyday dessert. Treat yourself to a slice of this decadent dessert!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 8 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 24 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until they resemble wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the springform pan evenly to form a crust.
  4. Par-bake the crust for 8 minutes, then let it cool while preparing the filling.
  5. In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese until light and smooth for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Mix in sugar, whole milk, sour cream, flour, and vanilla until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  7. Add eggs one at a time at low speed, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next.
  8. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when shaken.
  10. Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool inside for an hour to reduce cracks.
  11. Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight).
  12. To serve, run a knife under hot water to warm it, clean it, and run it around the edge of the springform pan to release.
  13. Carefully remove the sides of the pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving dish.
  14. Slice and serve with fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.

Notes

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing result.
For a richer flavor, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight before serving.
Top with your favorite fruits or chocolate for added flavor.
