Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 16 oz farmer's cheese
  • 16 oz sour cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F and wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt in a bowl; press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes and let it cool.
  • Beat farmer's cheese in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes to break down the curds.
  • Add sour cream and sugar to the farmer's cheese and beat until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until each egg is incorporated.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mixture, add vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt, and mix on the lowest speed until combined.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust and gently tap the pan to release air bubbles.
  • Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and add hot water to the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for one hour.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the water bath, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture and mixing. Feel free to customize the flavor by adding fruit swirls or chocolate marbling. If you experience cracks in your cheesecake, a layer of sour cream topping or fresh fruit can easily cover them up.
