Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Fold in sour cream and heavy cream.
Pour filling over the crust and bake for 55–65 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Tips for Success
Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth batter.
Avoid overmixing eggs to prevent cracks.
Consider a water bath to ensure even baking and moisture.
Run a warm knife along the edge before removing from the pan for clean slices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with fresh berries, fruit sauce, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream for an elegant touch.
