CLASSIC CHEESECAKE WITH SOUR CREAM TOPPING



Classic Cheesecake with Sour Cream Topping image

Categories     Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1½ cup crushed Graham Crackers (about half a box)
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup sugar
2-8oz packages of cream cheese at room temperature
½ cup sugar
3 large eggs - at room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 pint sour cream
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Crust- Preheat oven to 375. Put half of the box of Graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until finely ground. Measure out 1½ cups into a medium sized bowl.
  • Stir together the crumbs and the sugar, and then evenly pour the melted butter into the mixture. Stir using a fork until everything is evenly blended.
  • Pour crust mixture into a 9 inch springform pan. Press it evenly around the bottom and and inch up the sides until an even layer is formed. (I used the bottom of a cup for this) Set aside.
  • Filling: In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sugar together on medium to medium-high speed. Once fully combined, add the vanilla and one egg. Blend until smooth and fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl down from time to time to ensure everything is being mixed together. Add the remaining eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly each time. (Don't mix on high speed - this will incorporate too much air into the batter and the cheesecake won't be as dense once it bakes.)
  • Pour mixture over the crust. Gently tap the pan to encourage any air bubbles to rise to the surface.
  • Place the cheesecake into a preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the center no longer jiggles when gently shaken. Once the first layer has baked, let it cool for at approximately 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450° F.
  • While the cheesecake is cooling, whisk the sour cream, sugar and vanilla together until smooth. Once the cheesecake has cooled for approximately 15 minutes, pour the sour cream topping over top. Using a rubber spatula or offset spatula, smooth out the surface.
  • Place back into the oven (remember the heat should have been increased to 450° F) and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to let cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to set. *Don't put cheesecake in the fridge until it has cooled to room temperature.

PERFECT CHEESECAKE WITH SOUR CREAM TOPPING



Perfect Cheesecake With Sour Cream Topping image

A combination of the best cheesecake recipes I've tried. Nothing really beats a really great, simple cheesecake! Prep time includes cooling time for crust.

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 3h

Yield 12 pieces, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 7 ounces)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup almond meal (can substitute ground pecans)
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1 pinch kosher salt
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature (it is VERY important that the cheese be at room temperature, take the packages out of the fridge at )
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
5 large eggs, separated
1 cup sour cream
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (sub the 1/2 tsp for 1/2 teaspoon almond extract if you like a more nutty taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pint sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, ground almonds, and salt in a bowl. Drizzle melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Press into the bottom and up the sides (as far as it'll go) of a lightly buttered 10-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and salt and beat until smooth. Add flour and egg yolks and mix thoroughly. Stir in sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla and nutmeg and beat until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Fold thoroughly into cream cheese mixture; no need to be terribly gentle with it, but you do want the whites to be evenly incorporated. Pour into chilled crust.
  • Bake cheesecake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until top is puffed and lightly golden brown. There will be cracks, but that's what the sour cream topping is for. Without opening the oven door, turn the oven off, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven as it cools for 1 hour. Do not take the cheesecake immediately out of the hot oven or it will fall. After an hour, remove cheesecake and heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • While the cheesecake is cooling, make the sour cream topping by whisking the sour cream, sugar and vanilla together until smooth. Once the cheesecake has cooled for an hour, pour the sour cream topping over top. Using a rubber spatula or offset spatula, smooth out the surface.
  • Place back into the oven (remember the heat should have been increased to 450° F) and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to let cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to set. ***Don't put cheesecake in the fridge until it has cooled to room temperature.***.

Tips:

  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the sour cream topping, as too much or too little sour cream can affect the flavor and texture.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese mixture. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help to ensure that the cheesecake is firm and has a good texture.
