Time 9h38m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups (198 grams) graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup (67 grams) sugar
7 tablespoons (99 grams) butter, melted
5 blocks of full-fat cream cheese (40 ounces total), softened to room temperature
1 and 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
5 large eggs plus 3 egg yolks, at room temperature
1/2 cup (113 grams) heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Lightly spray a 9" springform pan with non-stick spray.
  • Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with heavy duty tinfoil. I recommend doing several diligent layers here to ensure no water creeps through when you place the pan in the water bath. Set pan aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter; stir well to combine. Firmly pat the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Place partially baked crust on a cooling rack and set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • In the body of a high power blender, food processor, stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a very large bowl using a hand held mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Add sugar and vanilla and beat smooth, scraping down the sides and bottom of bowl as needed. Add in the eggs and yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add in the cream and beat until it's just incorporated in the batter.
  • Pour filling into prepared crust and, using a silicone spatula, smooth the top.
  • Place the cheesecake pan into a large, deep pan. Fill the pan with 2 inches of hot water. This is your water bath and will help ensure your cheesecake comes out crack free.
  • Carefully place the pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Turn oven off and let the cheesecake sit, undisturbed, for 45 minutes, inside the oven with the door shut. The cheesecake should be still slightly wiggly.
  • Remove cake from oven and gently run a knife very around the edge of the cake. Place the cheesecake pan on a cooling rack and cool completely, then loosely cover the pan with saran wrap and chill for at least 8 hours.
  • Cheesecake will keep, covered in the fridge, for 5 days. Cheesecake may be frozen for 2 months. Thaw overnight before slicing.

Time 4h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon softened butter
3 tablespoons crumbs from Famous Chocolate Wafers, graham crackers or ginger snaps, OR
1 (3 ounce) package soft ladyfingers (24 total) left whole, but trimmed to fit pan
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup sour cream
Heavy-duty foil for pan

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position, and heat oven to 325 degrees. Brush interior of a 9-inch springform pan with butter. Add crumbs of choice and tilt pan in all directions to evenly coat, or line pan sides with ladyfingers. Tear off two long strips of heavy-duty foil, overlap in a cross pattern, and set the pan in the middle. Bring up sides, crimping around exterior top of the pan and forming a tight seal. Set it in a roasting pan large enough to hold it.
  • Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat on medium speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down bowl sides and beat again until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl after each addition to ensure a creamy batter. Slowly beat in vanilla, then cream and sour cream. (Meanwhile, bring tea kettle of water to a boil, then turn off heat.)
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Set the roasting pan on oven rack and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the side of the springform pan. Bake until cake perimeter is set but center still jiggles, about 40 minutes (some flavor variations will take longer). Turn off heat and leave oven door ajar; let cheesecake sit in oven so the residual heat continues to cook it, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove pan from water; set on a wire rack. Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until well-chilled, about 3 hours (can be refrigerated up to 4 days). Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan, loosen the spring siding and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
2 pounds regular cream cheese
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place foil over bottom disk of a 9-inch springform pan, tucking excess underneath disk; assemble pan. Pull up foil around pan sides. Brush interior of pan with butter. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs into pan, tilting it in all directions to coat evenly with crumbs. Cover exterior of pan with a sheet of heavy-duty foil and set in a large roasting pan. Bring a kettle of water to a boil for water bath.
  • Meanwhile, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat on medium speed until it is fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated and scraping down bowl after each addition. Add zest and vanilla and beat until just incorporated. Stir in cream and sour cream by hand.
  • Pour batter into springform pan. Set roasting pan on oven rack, set springform pan in it, and pour in enough boiling water to come about halfway up the side of springform pan. Bake until perimeter of cake is set but center jiggles when pan is tapped, 55 to 60 minutes. Turn off heat and leave oven door ajar, using a long-handled kitchen fork or spoon if necessary to hold it open for 1 hour. Remove springform pan from water bath and set on a wire rack; cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. Cheesecake can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese for the best flavor and texture. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before using it, so that it will blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese mixture. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to become dense and crumbly. Beat the mixture just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent it from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water. The water bath will help to create a moist environment in the oven, which will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

With its rich and creamy texture, velvety smooth filling, and the perfect balance of sweetness and tang, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your cheesecake turns out perfectly. Happy baking!
