Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients for The BEST Cheesecake Recipe at room temperature. Preheat your oven to 325°F and prepare a 9" springform pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and granulated sugar. Melt unsalted butter and mix it in until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the springform pan and bake for 7-8 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt, mixing well. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed.
  4. Gently fold in the sour cream and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake at 325°F for 75-80 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still jiggle slightly.
  6. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about an hour to cool gradually, then let it cool at room temperature for 2 hours before refrigerating overnight.
