Description

This Cheesecake Pie offers the rich, indulgent flavor of traditional cheesecake in a convenient, sliceable pie format. The base is a crisp, buttery graham cracker crust that provides the perfect textural contrast to the luscious filling. The filling itself is a blend of softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and a hint of lemon juice for brightness, creating a smooth and dense custard. A sour cream topping adds a subtle tang and helps prevent cracking while baking. This dessert is ideal for potlucks, holidays, or simply when you crave something sweet and sophisticated. It requires chilling time to set properly, making it a make-ahead favorite that tastes even better the next day.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form an even crust.
  4. Place the pie crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
  7. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until just combined.
  8. Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared crust.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  10. While the pie bakes, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  11. Remove the pie from the oven and carefully spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the hot filling.
  12. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  13. Remove from the oven and let cool completely to room temperature on a wire rack.
  14. Once cooled, cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set firmly.
  15. Slice and serve chilled.
