Ingredients

  • cup butter, melted
  • 1 ¼ cup graham cracker or chocolate crumbs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened 2 packages
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (I will add ¼ cup personally if I'm not adding anything else to this cheesecake)
  • ¼ cup sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine butter, crumbs and sugar.
  • Press into the bottom of your spring form pan to make the bottom crust. Try to make the base as even as possible. I have used the side of a coffee mug to press down and flatten the crust as best as I can. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer beat cream cheese until fluffy.
  • Add condensed milk, eggs and lemon juice and beat until smooth. Make sure mixture is totally blended.
  • Add sprinkles if using. Stir until evenly distributed.
  • Pour on top of your crumb mixture.
  • Bake until center of cake springs back when lightly touched. Between 50 and 55 minutes.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature in the pan.

Notes

  • Overbaking the no sour cream cheesecake can cause the surface to dry out and crack.
  • Avoid opening the oven door while it bakes unless it’s necessary. Allowing the heat to escape and cause the cheesecake to sink in the middle.
  • It’s normal for the center of the cheesecake to still jiggle slightly when it comes out of the oven. It will fully set as it cools.
