Ingredients
  

  • 190 g Graham Crackers (12 full graham cracker sheets)
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar (35g)
  • 5 tbsp melted unsalted butter (70g)
  • 32 oz full-fat cream cheese (4 8oz blocks or 910g), room temperature
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar (325g)
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 cup full-fat heavy cream (120g), room temperature
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream (240g), room temperature
  • 2-3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • optional Extra heavy cream or berries for decoration

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with granulated sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Beat room temperature cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and salt until fully incorporated.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  4. Gently fold in heavy cream and sour cream, then add vanilla bean paste and lemon juice.
  5. Pour the batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle.
  6. Turn off the oven and crack the door slightly to let heat escape. Cool the cheesecake gradually in the oven for about an hour.
  7. Transfer the cheesecake to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is better) before serving.
