BEST CHEESECAKE EVER

This recipe has never failed us. It always produces a ﬁnal result that is exceptionally

creamy and delicious.

BEFORE YOU START

Have the cream cheese at room temperature. Do not rush the mixing, and be sure to fully cream

the mixture so no lumps are present. You will need plastic wrap for baking this cheesecake.

While covering the cheesecake completely with plastic wrap and the lack of a water bath may be

a departure from the way cheesecakes are normally baked, this method will produce a wonderfully

smooth, no-crack cheesecake.

PREPARATION METHOD

CRUST

1. Preheat the oven on the Convection Mode at 325°F. 2. In a medium bowl combine the melted

butter, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs and press into spring form pan. 3. Bake for 10 minutes.

4. Turn the oven off and remove the pan and allow to cool completely.

FILLING

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer tted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar

until smooth. 2. Add the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla and mix until combined. 3. Add the

cream and eggs and mix until smooth. 4. Pour into the spring form pan. 5. Cover the entire spring

form pan with plastic wrap, wrapping it all the way around the pan twice. The plastic wrap should

completely seal the spring form pan, top, bottom, and sides. Place the pan into the oven. Set the

oven to Convection Steam Mode at 225˚. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
