Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (8 ounces) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full-sized crackers)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Decoration Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- Additional sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Craft a crisp foundation by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a springform pan’s base, creating an even layer. Bake at 325F for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until silky and free of lumps. Gradually incorporate sugar and vanilla, blending until smooth. Introduce eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition to maintain a uniform texture.
- Gently fold in sour cream, heavy cream, and flour, ensuring the mixture remains velvety. Delicately integrate colorful sprinkles throughout the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Transfer the vibrant filling onto the prepared crust, spreading it uniformly. Position in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, watching for a slightly wobbly center.
- Once baking completes, turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar. Allow the cheesecake to gradually cool inside for one hour, preventing sudden temperature shifts that could cause cracking.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to set completely. Before serving, optionally embellish with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkle of additional colorful confetti sprinkles.
Notes
- Prevent cracks by avoiding overmixing the cheesecake batter, which incorporates too much air and causes surface splitting during baking.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free filling and consistent texture throughout the cheesecake.
- Choose high-quality sprinkles that won’t bleed color when mixed into the batter, maintaining the clean white appearance of the cheesecake.
- Wrap the springform pan’s exterior with aluminum foil to prevent water seepage if using a water bath method for more even baking and moisture retention.
