Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust and Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust and Crumble: In a bowl, mix softened butter with flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of baking powder until crumbly. Reserve half the mixture for the topping and firmly press the other half into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, then eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in sour cream (or heavy cream) and vanilla extract until silky and lump-free.
- Assemble the Layers: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the pan, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
- Add the Crumble Topping: Evenly sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture over the cheesecake layer, creating a thick topping.
- Bake and Cool: Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 55-65 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
- Mix ingredients just until combined to avoid incorporating too much air and prevent cracks.
- Baking in a water bath helps keep the cheesecake moist and crack-free.
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly for at least 4 hours for best slicing results.
- Use fresh cinnamon and spices for the most vibrant flavor.
