Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine finely crushed graham crackers and melted unsalted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden, then cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar and cornstarch on medium speed until smooth (2-3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
- On low speed, add sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the mix. Blend until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Wrap the pan with aluminum foil and place it in a roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan halfway up the pan sides. Bake at 302°F (150°C) for 30-45 minutes until edges are firm and center jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for one hour. Remove from water bath and refrigerate for at least four hours, ideally overnight.
- Once chilled, release the sides of the springform pan. Serve plain or with fruit sauces for garnish.
