✅ This recipe doesn’t contain pork or alcohol.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• ⅔ cup sour cream
• ⅔ cup heavy cream

Directions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 ¼ cups of sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined.
3. Add Sour Cream and Heavy Cream:
   Gently fold in the sour cream and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to avoid adding too much air into the batter.
4. Bake the Cheesecake:
   Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Place the pan in a large roasting pan and pour boiling water into the roasting pan, enough to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This water bath will help the cheesecake bake evenly and prevent cracking. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
5. Cool and Chill:
   Turn off the oven, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for about 1 hour. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set fully.
6. Serve:
   Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled. You can garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a fruit compote for added flavor.
