INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • 18 graham crackers, crushed
    • 🧈 3 tablespoons melted butter

  • Filling

    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 🌾 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 🧀 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
    • 🍚 1 ½ cups white sugar
    • 🥛 ⅔ cup milk
    • 🥚 4 large eggs
    • 🍋 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
    • 🍊 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

2

Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl until evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the springform pan.

3

Whisk sour cream, flour, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; set aside.

4

Stir cream cheese and sugar together with a wooden spoon in a separate bowl until evenly incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Add milk and whisk until just combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in lemon zest, orange zest, and sour cream mixture; whisk until just incorporated. Pour mixture into prepared springform pan.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges have nicely puffed and the surface of the cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour.

6

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 3 to 4 hours. This prevents any cracks from forming on the top of the cheesecake.
