|
## Ingredients
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### For the Crust
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- 4 ounces graham crackers, broken into pieces
|
||||||
|
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
|
||||||
|
- ⅓ cup sugar
|
||||||
|
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### For the Filling
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- 2 ½ pounds cream cheese (five 8-ounce packages), room temperature
|
||||||
|
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
|
||||||
|
- 8 ounces sour cream, room temperature
|
||||||
|
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
|
||||||
|
- 5 large eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
|
||||||
|
- Zest of 1 lemon
|
||||||
|
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Directions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Preheat oven and prepare pan:**
|
||||||
|
- Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in the lower third of the oven.
|
||||||
|
- Butter bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
|
||||||
|
- Line sides of the pan with 4-inch-high strips of parchment and butter parchment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Combine graham crackers and sugar for crust:**
|
||||||
|
- In a food processor, pulse graham crackers with salt and sugar to fine crumbs.
|
||||||
|
- Add butter and pulse until fully incorporated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Bake and cool crust:**
|
||||||
|
- Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan and bake until the crust is golden brown and set (15 minutes).
|
||||||
|
- Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
|
||||||
|
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup or the flat side of a drinking glass to press the crumbs into a compact layer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Other cookies, like chocolate disks, gingersnaps, or Biscoff wafers, can be used instead of graham crackers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. **Mix cheesecake filling:**
|
||||||
|
- In a large stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, butter, and sour cream with sugar until light and smooth.
|
||||||
|
- Add eggs, yolks, zest, and vanilla:
|
||||||
|
- Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
|
||||||
|
- Beat in remaining egg yolks, zest, and vanilla extract.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. **Line pan with foil and parchment:**
|
||||||
|
- Crisscross two long pieces of foil and place a piece of parchment on top.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. **Wrap exterior of pan in foil:**
|
||||||
|
- Place the springform in the center of the foil and wrap the foil tightly around the bottom and sides of the pan.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Lining the pan with foil helps keep water from seeping into the cheesecake, which causes the crust to become soggy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. **Place pan in water bath; transfer to oven and bake:**
|
||||||
|
- Transfer to a roasting pan, pour filling into the springform pan, and smooth the top.
|
||||||
|
- Pour boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan and carefully transfer to the oven.
|
||||||
|
- Bake for 1 hour until the top of the cheesecake is golden brown, edges are set, and the center jiggles slightly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
8. **Remove from water bath and foil; chill:**
|
||||||
|
- Lift cheesecake from the water bath, remove foil and parchment from outside of springform, and chill cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9. **Slice the cheesecake and serve:**
|
||||||
|
- To serve, remove the side of the springform pan and parchment strips.
|
||||||
|
- Cut the cheesecake with a long, thin-bladed knife.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How to Slice Cheesecake
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For perfect slices every time, run a long thin-bladed knife under hot tap water, wiping it clean between cuts.
