Joyful 7 Inch Creamy Cheesecake Recipe


Joyful 7 Inch Creamy Cheesecake Recipe
Joyful because I adapted it from Joy of Cooking to go with my new 7 inch springform pan. The texture is just the right balance between dense and creamy.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar
  • 5 Tbsp. melted butter
  • 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese (Philly or organic)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. sugar (or more or less LOL)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp.. heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp. (heaping) sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions
  1. Have ingredients at room temperature
  2. Mix first 3 ingredients for crust and press into 7 inch springform pan -- bottom and up sides about 1/2 inch
  3. Bake crust in 350 oven for 10 minutes, then let it sit . An alternate method is to put in freezer for 20 minutes.
  4. Set oven to 325
  5. Soften cream cheese a bit in microwave, then beat in large bowl until smooth, 30-60 seconds, scraping sides and beaters.
  6. Gradually add sugar and beat until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes
  7. Beat in 1 egg at a time, just until incorporated, scraping after each addition.
  8. Add remaining 4 ingredients and beat on low speed until mixed.
  9. Scrape batter into pan and smooth top.
  10. Place pan on large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and fold up sides.
  11. Set pan in larger pan and put in oven.
  12. Pour boiling water into larger pan until it is about halfway up sides of cheesecake pan.
  13. Bake for 50-60 minutes. The edges will look set but the center will jiggle when pan is tapped.
  14. Turn off oven and prop door open with wooden spoon or oven mitt and let cool in oven for 1 hour.
  15. Remove to rack and let cool completely before unmolding.
  16. Here comes the funny part -- don't eat it until it has chilled for at least 6 hours in refrigerator, preferably over night.
