NEW YORK STYLE SOUR CREAM CHEESECAKE



New York Style Sour Cream Cheesecake image

What self respecting New Yorker would not have a cheesecake recipe handy? Having grown up on Juniors Cheesecake I am a bit biased but this one is just as good. This is a variation of the type Alton Brown makes on his show. I have made some adjustments to the cooking time but other than that, this recipe is to his credit! Make sure all ingredients are room temperature. Enjoy!

Provided by Diamond Joe

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 12h30m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

14 ounces graham cracker crumbs (about 2/3 box)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 cups sour cream
20 ounces stick cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 egg yolks
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and wrap a 9 inch spring form pan in aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Mix together crumbs, butter sugar and cinnamon until even and press into bottom of springform pan. I use a coffee tamper but you can use a glass or any flat bottomed item.
  • Bake crust for 10 minutes remove and set aside to cool.
  • For the filling:.
  • Reduce oven temp to 250 (It is critical to make sure your oven maintains the proper temperature for this recipe).
  • Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix one of the blocks of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cornstarch on medium until it starts to incorporate, 2-3 minutes, scrape down the bowl.
  • Add the rest of the cream cheese and sugar, one block and then the 1/2 block at a time with about 1/2 the sugar mixture for each additon (using up the other 3/4 cup so roughly divide it in half) ,and beat on medium until it begins to mix and break down, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Once those 3 ingredients are incorporated, stop mixing and scrape down sides of the bowl.
  • Add in 1/2 the eggs and vanilla and mix on medium for 1-2 minutes. Stop and scrape down bowl again.
  • Mix in remaining eggs and cream and mix until even and no more lumps appear, then add the sour cream and mix until combined (no lumps should appear at this point).
  • Pour Batter on top of cooled crust and prepare your water bath. Place your springform pan in a larger pan like a roasting pan as long as the sides of the larger pan are as tall as the springform, you'll be fine.
  • Fill the larger pan with hot water that is on the verge of boiling until it comes up about 1" the sides of the springform pan.
  • Put pan in 250 degree oven for 2 hours. After this time shut off oven, open door for about 1 minute and let the cake rest in the water bath in the oven (off) for one more hour.
  • Remove your cheesecake from the oven and let it sit on a draft free counter for 1 more hour, then refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Slice with a long thin knife, a carving knife will work. Start by running you knife under hot water and wiping dry and then pushing the knife from the top of the cake to the crust and pulling the knife out along the bottom. I usually cut this cake into 16 slices (very rich) Refrigerate leftovers.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h31m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

33 graham cracker squares, crumbled
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus additional, for brushing the pan
1 tablespoon sugar
20 ounces cream cheese
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 yolks
1/3 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Brush some of the melted butter around a 9 by 3-inch cake pan. Adhere parchment to the bottom and the sides.
  • In a small bowl, combine crumbled graham crackers, the remaining melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the parchment-lined pan. Place remaining crumbs on a sheet pan and bake both the crust and the remaining mixture for 10 minutes. Cool. Reserve additional crumb mixture for sides.
  • In a mixer with a paddle attachment, beat sour cream for 10 seconds. Add the cream cheese and sugar and mix on low for 30 seconds and then turn up to medium. Scrape the bowl.
  • In a separate container, combine vanilla, eggs, yolks, and heavy cream. With the mixer on medium, slowly pour the liquid mixture in. When half of it is incorporated, stop and scrape. Continue adding the mixture until the rest of the ingredients are incorporated. Once completely combined, pour into the cooled crust.
  • Lower oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Place cheesecake into a preheated water bath, in the oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and open the door for one minute. Close the door for one more hour. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and place in the refrigerator for 6 hours to completely cool before serving.
  • When ready to serve, place the entire cake pan into a hot water bath for about 15 seconds. Unmold onto a cake round or serving dish. Take the remaining graham cracker mixture and press into the sides of the cake.
  • To slice, place your knife into a hot water bath and wipe dry each time you make a pass through the cake.
