Ingredients
- Graham cracker2 cups
- Brown sugar⅓ cups
- Butter · melted½ cups
- Heavy cream1
- Cream cheese · softened24 oz
- Sugar10 tbsp
- Sour cream¼ cups
- Lemon2 tsp
- Vanilla1 tsp
Instructions
- Stir the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter together. Press firmly into a 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan, packing it tightly up the sides with the bottom of a measuring cup. Freeze for 10 to 20 minutes while you make the filling.
- Whip the cold heavy cream on medium-high speed to stiff peaks, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until perfectly smooth, scraping the bowl as needed. Add the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla, then beat on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth. Keep beating until there are no lumps.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture on low speed or by hand with a spatula until combined, taking care not to deflate it.
- Take the crust out of the freezer, spread the filling over it and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours, up to 2 days. Overnight (about 12 hours) gives the best set.
- Loosen the cheesecake from the rim with a knife and remove the rim. Slice with a clean, sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for neat slices.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
