This Best Cheesecake Recipe is a classic, creamy dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The combination of a buttery graham cracker crust and a rich, velvety cheesecake filling is absolutely irresistible. Follow these simple steps to create the perfect cheesecake every time.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups (198 grams) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup (67 grams) granulated sugar
  • 7 tablespoons (99 grams) unsalted butter, melted

For the Creamy Cheesecake Filling:

  • 5 blocks full-fat cream cheese (40 ounces total), room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (113 ml) heavy cream, room temperature (Use an extra 1/4 cup for a creamier texture)

Instructions

  1. For the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with heavy-duty foil. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
  2. For the Creamy Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, egg yolks, and cream. Pour batter over crust, create a water bath, and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let sit in the oven for 45 minutes. Cool, chill, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Using a water bath while baking helps prevent cracks on the surface of the cheesecake.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 8 hours for the best texture and flavor.
