Steps:

  • STEP 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make crust: Butter a 9-by-3-inch springform pan. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until fine crumbs form; add melted butter, sugar, and salt, and pulse to combine. Press crumb mixture into bottom and about 1 inch up side of pan. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes; let cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven to 325 degrees. STEP 2 Set a kettle of water to boil. Make filling: Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese on medium until fluffy, scraping down side of bowl. Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in lemon zest and juice, and salt. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down side of bowl after each addition. Beat in sour cream. STEP 3 Wrap bottom half of pan in foil. Pour in filling; place in a roasting pan. Pour in boiling water to come halfway up side of springform. Bake until just set in center, about 1 3/4 hours. Remove pan from water; let cool 20 minutes. Run a paring knife around edge; let cool completely. Cover; chill overnight before serving. Make Martha Stewart's Classic Cheesecake recipe. How To and Step-by-Step Instructions from Martha Stewart.

I've made this cheesecake several times and it always turns out great! The crust is perfect and the filling is creamy and delicious. I've also tried adding different flavors to the filling, such as chocolate chips or fruit, and it always turns out we

This cheesecake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made graham cracker crust and it worked well. The filling was smooth and creamy and the cheesecake had a great flavor. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This cheesecake is very good but I would recommend using a graham cracker crust instead of an oreo crust. I also added some lemon zest to the filling and it gave it a nice flavor.

This cheesecake was amazing! I made it for a party and everyone loved it. The crust was perfect and the filling was creamy and delicious and not too dense. The flavor is rich without being too heavy. I will definitely be making this again!
