Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp butter (melted)
- 32 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 3 eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup sour cream
- Zest and juice of lemons
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare a springform pan by wrapping the outside in aluminum foil to prevent water leakage.
- For the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press into the bottom of the springform pan.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix in sour cream, heavy whipping cream, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon zest/extracts until fully combined.
- Pour filling over the crust and bake for about 85 minutes or until slightly wobbly in the center.
- Allow cooling in the oven with the door slightly ajar for one hour before transferring to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight before serving.
