I Tried the Easiest Cream Cheese Cake Recipe

by

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for freshness)
  • 1 ready-made graham cracker crust (or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add sugar and mix until well combined.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  5. Stir in sour cream and lemon juice until smooth.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
  8. Turn off the oven, leave the cake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.

Do you want me to make this no-bake style (just chill in the fridge, no oven) or keep it as a baked cheesecake?
