Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (8 ounces) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Crust:
- 1 graham cracker crust
Flavoring and Decoration:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare a springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and press firmly into the pan’s base to create a compact crust.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese and sugar until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring thorough blending after each addition to maintain a smooth texture.
- Gently fold in sour cream, vanilla extract, and colorful rainbow sprinkles, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Carefully transfer the vibrant batter into the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Bake at 325F (160C) for 45-50 minutes, watching for a slightly wobbly center that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, which prevents cracking.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to set and develop a rich, creamy texture.
- Before serving, garnish with additional sprinkles for a festive and playful presentation.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing and optimal texture.
- Gently fold sprinkles into the batter to prevent color bleeding and maintain their vibrant appearance.
- Use a water bath when baking to prevent cracks and create a silky, even cheesecake surface.
- For gluten-free version, substitute graham cracker crust with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumb base.
