Ultimate Easy Baked Homemade Cheesecake
Ultimate Easy Baked Homemade Cheesecake uses 7 ingredients, no sour cream, is light, creamy, and the original, classic, best cheesecake recipe in the world!
Equipment
- Springform Pan
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cup graham cracker or chocolate crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 pkg. (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (I will add 1/4 cup personally if I'm not adding anything else to this cheesecake)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
- 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.
- Your crust should look something like this. 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.
- Keep refrigerated.
- Serve and enjoy!
