Ingredients for 8 Minute Cheesecake

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make 8 Minute Cheesecake

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, beating until fully incorporated.
  3. Blend in 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping (thawed if frozen).
  5. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  6. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into your prepared graham cracker crust (see note below).
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  8. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce, before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
