Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 85 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 680 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Sour cream
- 180 grams Lemon curd
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 50 grams of granulated sugar until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 200 grams of granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and beat until incorporated. Then, mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next.
Stir in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Drop spoonfuls of lemon curd onto the surface of the cheesecake, spacing them out evenly. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the lemon curd into the cheesecake batter to create a marbled effect.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it, then release the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
