For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream. Do not overbake the cheesecake, as it will continue to set as it cools. To prevent cracking, avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking. A water bath can also help prevent cracking. Wrap the springform pan tightly in aluminum foil and place it in a larger pan. Add hot water to the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake as directed. Garnish with fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

May 24, 2025I've made this cheesecake several times, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a layer of raspberry jam between the crust and the filling for an extra touch of flavor.
