Ingredients
Scale
Base:
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cup (60 ml) granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (120 ml) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 (8 ounces/226 grams) packages cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup (180 ml) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Toppings:
- Chocolate sauce
- Caramel sauce
- Chopped nuts
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Transform graham cracker crumbs and sugar into a cohesive base by incorporating melted butter. Press the mixture compactly into a 9-inch springform pan, creating a sturdy foundation. Chill in refrigerator while preparing subsequent layers.
- Whip cream cheese and sugar until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency. Integrate sour cream and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly. Delicately fold whipped cream into the mixture, creating an airy, voluminous filling.
- Gently cascade the creamy filling over the chilled crust, ensuring an even distribution across the surface. Seal with cover and allow to solidify in refrigerator for minimum 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Carefully extract cheesecake from springform pan once fully set. Embellish with luxurious drizzles of chocolate sauce, caramel ribbons, scattered toasted nuts, or pillowy whipped cream. Slice into elegant portions and savor the indulgent dessert.
Notes
- Crumb Consistency Matters: Use fine graham cracker crumbs for a smoother, more compact crust that holds together perfectly when slicing.
- Softening Cream Cheese: Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature for at least 30 minutes to ensure a silky-smooth filling without lumps.
- Whipping Technique: Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to maintain its airy texture and prevent deflating the delicate volume.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This cheesecake actually tastes better when chilled overnight, allowing flavors to meld and develop a rich, creamy texture.
