Cheesecake (filling only)

Be sure to chill overnight!

Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 3 8-oz blocks of full-fat cream cheese (room temp)
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Tools

  • Pie crust (graham cracker is a favorite)
  • Large stirring bowl
  • Medium stirring bowl
  • Stand mixer

Method

  • Whip cold heavy whipping cream into stiff peaks (approximately 5 minutes). Set aside.
  • Separately, beat the room-temp cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add in the powdered sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Fold the cream in until combined. Combine slowly to avoid deflating air and do not over mix.
  • Gently fill the crust. Cover lightly with wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 6-8 hours (preferably overnight).
  • Serve chilled and keep refrigerated.
