water bath cheesecake

This classic Cheesecake is a tall, ultra-creamy, New York-style cheesecake. Baking with the water bath method is the secret to ensuring the perfect rise with a level top and no cracks.

Perfect Cheesecake Recipe

graham cracker crumbs (from 12 whole crackers)

Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Tbsp sugar

lb cream cheese (room temperature (4 1/2 packages, 8-oz each))

sugar

eggs (room temperature)

sour cream

Tbsp vanilla extract

Crush graham cracers into crumbs. In a meidum bowl, combine crumbs together with melted butter and sugar and stir until moistened.

Press crumbs into a 9&quot; springform pan, going up the sides slightly. Bake in the center of the oven at 350˚F for 8 minutes then cool to room temperature.

Place 2 large sheets of extra-wide heavy-duty foil on the counter. Set the springform pan in the center and fold the foil up the sides of the pan ensuring there are no rips or holes. Fan the foil out slightly at the tops to keep the rim clear for rising.

How to Make Cheesecake Crust:

Preheat oven to 450˚F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine cream cheese and 1 1/4 cups sugar. Beat on medium/high speed for 5 minutes until completely smooth, scraping down the bowl and attachment as needed.

Reduce speed to medium and add eggs one at a time, letting them incorproate between each addition and scrakping down the bowl as needed.

Reduce speed to low and add 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/2 Tbsp vanilla and mix just until incorporated. Pour batter over the foil-wrapped springform pan with your cooled crust.

How to Make Perfect Cheesecake:

Boil a pot of water (boil more than you think you&#039;ll need to ensure there&#039;s enough). Set your cheesecake pan in a deep roasting pan. Pour hot water around the edges about half-way up the sides of the springform pan (1 1/2&quot; to 2&quot; of water).

Carefully transfer cheesecake to the center rack of the oven and bake at 450˚F for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 225˚F and without opening the door, bake additional 60-70 minutes or until center of cheesecake wobbles slightly when you tap the pan.

Remove cheesecake from the oven and let it rest in the roasting pan with water for 45 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight to fully set before slicing.
