Description

A rich and tangy cheesecake topped with a creamy sour cream layer, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for crust)
  • 24 ounces full-fat cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 1 cup sour cream (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Press the graham cracker crumbs mixed with melted butter and 2 tbsp of sugar into a 9-inch springform pan and chill.
  2. Beat the cream cheese until silky, then add sugar, flour, eggs (one at a time), sour cream, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the filling into the chilled crust, place the pan in a larger roasting pan, and add hot water halfway up the springform side.
  4. Bake at 325°F for 50–60 minutes until the center jiggles slightly. Cool for 15 minutes.
  5. Spread the sour cream topping mixture (1 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla) on top and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes.
  6. Cool completely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes
