Fool Proof Cheesecake

Fool Proof Cheesecake

I have made many, many cheesecakes in my baking years! Many that have cracked! Some that have not! The cracks are usually not a big deal because I often top my cheesecakes with hot fudge and candies or dripping caramel or fruity goodness. It covers the cracks and tastes amazing. BUT…sometimes you want to serve a plain cheesecake. My parents love plain cheesecake and so I wanted to make a foolproof recipe that would not crack. I wanted a nice, smooth presentation. Mission accomplished with this recipe! You can certainly top this off with anything you’d like! What would be your first choice? I think the sour cream in this recipe is the star ingredient! What’s also nice is this recipe does not require a water bath method for baking. I love my cheesecake moat but this method is way easier and requires a lot less effort. I hope you love this fool proof cheesecake!

This crust is absolutely delicious! It has a perfect crunch and sweetness to it. When it bakes, you will love the smell out of the oven! Mmmmmm!! This will definitely be my go-to cheesecake from now on. I like to make my cheesecakes ahead of time and store them in the fridge overnight! You can even freeze them once chilled and removed from the springform pan. How easy is that!
