(Because let’s be honest, the crust is the best part!) Once you try this recipe, I guarantee you won’t want to make any other cheesecake again.

A Memorable Creation

I remember the first time I made this Double Crust Cheesecake for a family gathering. As the evening sky painted a beautiful sunset, we gathered around the table with eager anticipation. With each slice carefully plated, silence fell upon the room. The moment we took our first bite, pure bliss enveloped us. The velvety cheesecake melted in our mouths, the caramelized crust offered a delightful crunch, and the touch of tanginess from the fruit topping perfectly balanced the sweetness. Laughter filled the air as we savored each heavenly mouthful, creating a memory that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Ingredients:

For the crust:

1 package of graham crackers (~25 crackers), finely crushed
1/2 cup of golden brown sugar
1 cup of melted salted butter

For the cake:

2 cups of whipping cream
3 (8-ounce) blocks of cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of sour cream
2 tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar
2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon of vanilla essence
2 tablespoons of cornstarch (or additional confectioners’ sugar)

Optional: Strawberry sauce on the side

Instructions:

Start by preparing the crust mixture. Combine the crushed graham crackers, golden brown sugar, and melted butter until the crumbs are coated evenly. Pour half of the mixture into the bottom of a 9″ springform pan, press it tightly, and freeze it. Set aside the remaining crust mixture.
Next, whip the whipping cream with powdered sugar or cornstarch until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, cream together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, vanilla essence, lemon juice, and the remaining powdered sugar.
Gently fold in half of the whipped cream, followed by the other half.
Remove the crust mixture from the freezer and pour the creamy filling into the pan. Smooth it out, pressing it down to prevent air pockets.
Sprinkle half of the remaining crust mixture over the top and smooth it out. Add the rest of the crumbs, pressing them tightly.
Cover the cheesecake with parchment paper and press it down firmly.
Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Just before serving, you can top the cheesecake with fresh strawberries or a luscious strawberry sauce, if desired.
