Make Martha Stewart's Classic Cheesecake recipe. How To and Step-by-Step Instructions from Martha Stewart.

Steps:

  • STEP 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make crust: Butter a 9-by-3-inch springform pan. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until fine crumbs form; add melted butter, sugar, and salt, and pulse to combine. Press crumb mixture into bottom and about 1 inch up side of pan. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes; let cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven to 325 degrees. STEP 2 Set a kettle of water to boil. Make filling: Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese on medium until fluffy, scraping down side of bowl. Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in lemon zest and juice, and salt. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down side of bowl after each addition. Beat in sour cream. STEP 3 Wrap bottom half of pan in foil. Pour in filling; place in a roasting pan. Pour in boiling water to come halfway up side of springform. Bake until just set in center, about 1 3/4 hours. Remove pan from water; let cool 20 minutes. Run a paring knife around edge; let cool completely. Cover; chill overnight before serving. Make Martha Stewart's Classic Cheesecake recipe. How To and Step-by-Step Instructions from Martha Stewart.

This cheesecake is a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter cheesecake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out very well. The crust was too crumbly, and the filling was too runny.
