Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for added stability)

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, softened butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until crumbly and the butter is well incorporated.
  3. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the crumble mixture for topping. Press the remaining crumble into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the sour cream and flour (if using) until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust in the springform pan.
  2. Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

  1. After the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely.
  2. Once chilled, carefully remove the springform pan and slice the cheesecake.
  3. Serve chilled, and enjoy the fluffy texture paired with the crunchy crumble topping!

Tips for Success:

  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in some lemon zest or a touch of almond extract into the cheesecake filling.
  • This cheesecake can be topped with fresh fruits, chocolate drizzle, or a caramel sauce for an extra special touch.

Enjoy your Fluffy Crumble Cheesecake, a delightful dessert that’s perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself)!
