How to Make Deliciously Sweet Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- **Prepare the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup packed brown sugar.
- Gradually add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter, stirring until well combined.
- Press mixture firmly onto the bottom and sides of an ungreased 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven; leave oven on.
- **Prepare the filling:** In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in 1 cup sour cream, 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until well combined.
- Pour filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
- Top with your favorite fruit (fresh berries are recommended!), serve, and enjoy!
