Ingredients

• 16 oz Cream cheese
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 3 count Large eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 0.25 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch round springform pan, paying extra attention to the bottom and sides.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the sour cream and mix until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, on low speed. Avoid overmixing; blend just until combined after each egg addition.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt to the mixture. Continue mixing on low speed until everything is fully mixed and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles.

Step 7

Place the pan into the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly.

Step 8

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly cracked for 1 hour to slowly cool down. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 9

After the hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.

Step 10

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture. Serve chilled with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
