How to Make Cheater's New York Style Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces sour cream, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute until well combined.
- Add 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) of softened cream cheese and mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and add to the mixture. Mix for a few seconds until just combined.
- Gently pour the batter into your ready-made graham cracker pie crust.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- (Optional) For a lightly browned top, carefully broil for 1-2 minutes, watching constantly to prevent burning. Remove immediately once lightly browned.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
- Once chilled, slice into thin wedges and serve. Enjoy plain, or top with your favorite toppings!
- Enjoy every creamy bite of this decadent dessert!
