Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh berries and berry sauce for topping

Instructions

1. Grease a 7-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the sour cream, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
5. Place a trivet in the bottom of your crockpot and pour in 1 cup of water. Carefully place the springform pan on the trivet.
6. Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high for 2 hours, or until the center of the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly.
7. Turn off the crockpot and let the cheesecake cool completely inside. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
8. Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh berries and a drizzle of berry sauce.

Helpful Tips

To ensure a smooth cheesecake, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. For a variation, try adding a swirl of your favorite fruit preserves to the cheesecake batter before cooking.
