🧁 Ingredients
Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
Cheesecake Filling
4 blocks (8 oz / 225 g each) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2½ tsp fresh lemon juice
3 large eggs, room temperature
(Optional topping: berries, caramel, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream)
🍰 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the crust
Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F.
Mix graham cracker crumbs + melted butter + sugar in a bowl.
Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
Bake 8–10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
2️⃣ Make the cheesecake filling
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add sugar and mix until fully combined.
Add sour cream, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix gently.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each egg.
Do not overmix to avoid cracks.
3️⃣ Bake the cheesecake
Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
Place the pan into a water bath (put the pan inside a larger pan with hot water).
Bake at 160°C / 325°F for 55–70 minutes.
The center should still slightly jiggle.
Water bath helps keep the cheesecake smooth and prevents cracks.
4️⃣ Cooling (very important)
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Remove and cool at room temperature.
Refrigerate at least 4–6 hours (preferably overnight).
🍓 Serving
Top with:
Fresh strawberries or berries
Chocolate ganache
Caramel sauce
Whipped cream
