Equipment

  • 8×8-inch Pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter melted
  • 16 ounces Cream cheese at room temperature
  • 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup Sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice optional
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the crust mixture into the bottom of an 8 or 9-inch square pan or glass pie plate and refrigerate.
  • In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed.
  • Gently whisk in sour cream, vanilla, and lemon juice until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in 3 to 4 increments.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 to 12 hours, or until fully set and cold.
  • To serve, loosen the edges with a knife, slice into squares, and wipe the knife after each cut. Top with whipped cream or fresh berries if desired.
