Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 2½ pounds (40 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature

For Garnish:

  • Fresh raspberries
  • Additional honey for drizzling

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
    • Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
    • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.
    • Bake for 12 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese on high speed for 1 minute until smooth.
    • Add the granulated sugar and mix until combined.
    • Add sour cream, honey, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
  • Bake the Cheesecake:
    • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
    • Prepare a water bath by placing the springform pan into a larger roasting pan and filling the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
    • Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 60-70 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
    • Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
    • Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Serve:
    • Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh raspberries and drizzle with additional honey.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning to achieve a smooth filling.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent incorporating too much air, which can cause cracks.
  • A water bath helps the cheesecake bake evenly and prevents cracking.
