Ingredients
Scale
Dairy and Cream Base:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
Sweet and Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (16 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Extra sprinkles
- White chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 325°F and coat a 9-inch springform pan with grease for optimal baking surface.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar into a cohesive mixture, pressing firmly into the pan’s bottom to create an even crust layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese and sugar until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency. Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring thorough blending after each addition.
- Gently introduce vanilla extract and heavy cream, mixing until the batter reaches a smooth, uniform texture.
- Delicately fold rainbow sprinkles into the cheesecake mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Carefully transfer the prepared filling over the cooled crust, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, watching for a slightly jiggly center with set edges, indicating proper doneness.
- Switch off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for one hour to prevent cracking and ensure gradual cooling.
- Transfer the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to achieve optimal setting.
- Prior to serving, garnish with additional rainbow sprinkles for a festive and colorful presentation.
Notes
- For the most even baking, wrap the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during potential water bath baking.
- Prevent surface cracks by avoiding overmixing the cheesecake batter and baking at a consistent, moderate temperature.
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially cream cheese and eggs, to ensure smooth and lump-free cheesecake texture.
- Add extra sprinkles gently to maintain their vibrant color and prevent bleeding into the cheesecake mixture.
