Utensils & Equipment

  • 1 9-inch deep dish pie plate
  • 1 wire cooling rack
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 spoon or spatula
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 set of measuring spoons

Ingredients List

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust or graham cracker
  • 16 ounces cream cheese 2 blocks softened at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream at room temperature
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice preferably fresh squeezed

Instructions

Prepare The Crust

  • This step is not necessary if you're using a premade graham cracker crust.
  • Prebake the crust as directed on the package. In most cases you'll want to bake the crust for 10 minutes at 400℉ then allow it to cool while preparing the cheesecake filling.

Preheat Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 325℉.

Prepare The Cheesecake Filling

  • The cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs should be at room temperature as discussed above.
  • In large bowl beat the cream cheese with electric mixer until smooth. Use the mixer paddle attachment, if you have one. Keep scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure that there are no lumps.
  • Add the sour cream and sugar. Mix until well blended.
  • In a small bowl beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  • Slowly blend the egg mixture into the cream cheese. You can use an electric mixer but I usually just stir with a spatula.
  • If you notice any lumps in the mixture, use a whisk to break them down. The filling should be smooth and creamy with no lumps.

Bake

  • Spoon the filling into the pie crust and bake at 325℉ for 30 minutes or until the center is almost set.
  • Check the pie after 20 minutes to make sure the top isn't browning too fast. If necessary to prevent further browning you can place a sheet of aluminum foil over the top.
  • Pie is done when the center is mostly set. The center should be slightly jiggly.

Cool

  • Allow to sit on wire cooling rack for at least an hour or until the pie plate is cool to the touch.
  • Once the pie is at room temperature, refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
