Indulge in the velvety richness of this Luxurious Millionaire Cheesecake, topped with luscious chocolate ganache on a buttery graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Chocolate ganache for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  2. Blend the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Don’t rush this step; make sure it’s creamy and free of lumps. Add the vanilla extract and mix well to incorporate.
  3. Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed. This gentle approach ensures you won’t overmix, keeping the cheesecake light and fluffy.
  4. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until just combined. This mixture will give your cheesecake that sought-after luxurious texture.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top gently to ensure even baking.
  6. Bake for about 60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Once baked, turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an additional hour.
  8. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 240 minutes or, better yet, overnight.
  9. Before serving, top your cheesecake with a rich chocolate ganache for that finishing touch.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest texture. Avoid overmixing once the eggs are added to keep the cheesecake light.
