Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, forming an even layer. Use the back of a spoon to pack it down tightly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be sure not to overmix.
Stir in the lemon juice, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth and fully incorporated. If you’d like a slightly firmer texture, add the flour at this stage.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
We call this one “Christmas Eve Magic” because the table falls silent when it’s served!
