Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and ½ cups (155g) graham cracker crumbs
- 2 and ½ tablespoons (31g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
- 32 ounces (900g) full fat block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) heavy whipping cream
- 5 ounces (153g) greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
- ⅔ cup (67g) sprinkles
- 1 cup homemade whipped cream
- more sprinkles if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF (162ºC). Spray a 9" springform pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Crush graham crackers in a food processor until fine, then combine with sugar and melted butter in a large bowl.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Add granulated sugar and beat for 2 more minutes until combined.
- Reduce speed to low, add heavy cream, yogurt or sour cream, vanilla, and almond extracts, mixing until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low until just combined, then gently fold in sprinkles.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Create a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger round pan, filling the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides.
- Bake for 75-95 minutes until the center jiggles slightly and reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF (63ºC).
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Remove from the water bath and cool on a rack for 2 hours.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight before serving.
- Loosen the cheesecake from the sides of the pan before releasing the springform ring.
- Top with whipped cream and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
For a colorful effect, make sure to use vibrant sprinkles.
Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best flavor and texture.
If desired, serve with additional whipped cream on top.
