Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9” springform pan by wrapping it tightly with aluminum foil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed. Fold in sour cream and heavy cream gently using a spatula.
- Pour filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place springform pan into a larger roasting pan and add hot water halfway up the sides.
- Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 35 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edge to loosen it, remove from the water bath, and let cool completely.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 8-10 hours before serving.
