Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the pan by greasing a 9" springform pan with unsalted butter and lining it with parchment paper.
- Make the crust by crushing the graham crackers, mixing with melted unsalted butter, and pressing firmly into the pan. Pre-bake at 350°F for 7-8 minutes.
- Prepare the batter by beating cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in sour cream, heavy cream, and lemon juice until uniform.
- Bake the cheesecake by pouring the batter over the crust, placing it in a water bath, and baking at 325°F for 75-80 minutes.
- Cool the cheesecake by turning off the oven and cracking the door open for about 2 hours before refrigerating overnight.
- Serve the cheesecake by releasing the sides of the springform pan, slicing into wedges, and garnishing as desired.
