Cream Cheese Dessert Recipes

Smooth, creamy, and irresistibly rich, this Classic Cheesecake is the ultimate cream cheese dessert! With a buttery graham cracker crust and a luscious filling, it’s perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 5 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Crust – Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside.
  2. Creating the Cheesecake Filling – In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next. Fold in sour cream and flour until just incorporated.
  3. Baking the Cheesecake – Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with 1 inch of hot water (this water bath prevents cracking). Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is slightly set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  4. Cooling & Refrigerating – Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This ensures the perfect creamy texture.
  5. Serve & Enjoy – Garnish with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, caramel sauce, or chocolate drizzle. Slice and enjoy!
