Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp butter (melted)
- 32 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 3 eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Zest and juice from 3 lemons
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a springform pan by wrapping it in aluminum foil to prevent water leaks.
- For the crust, mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in sour cream, heavy whipping cream, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice until just combined.
- Pour filling over the crust and place the pan inside a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake for about 85 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for an hour to cool gradually. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
