Ingredients

• 32 ounces cream cheese
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 5 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the granulated sugar to the cream cheese, beating until well-combined and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the mixture. Beat until smooth and fully incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

In a small separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and salt together, then gradually add this to the cream cheese mixture. Combine thoroughly.

Step 6

Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat on low speed after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven. On a lower rack, place a baking dish filled with hot water to create steam, which helps prevent cracks.

Step 9

Bake for 80-90 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle when gently shaken.

Step 10

Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool inside the oven for 1 hour to minimize sinking.

Step 11

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.

Step 12

To serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake, then release the springform latch. Slice and enjoy!
