Some Good A** Cheese Cake

Ingredients:

Crust
2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Filling
4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, room temperature (not kidding)
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 pinch salt
1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs

Materials:
Spring Form Pan 
Aluminum Foil
Sandwich Bags
 2 Mixing Bowls
A Baking dish bigger than your Spring Form Pan


Directions For Crust:
1. Preheat Oven to 350F and start crushing your graham crackers, use sandwich bags to not make a mess. Make sure you really crush the crackers down until they are crumbs 

2. When you have enough crackers, place them a bowl with the butter, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix them together with your hands until the cracker crumbs get a little sticky.

3. To prepare your spring form pan, surround the bottom of it with aluminum foil to make water tight, Then press the crust mixture onto the bottom of the pan, make sure that it is spread evenly throughout the pan. 

4. Bake for 10 mins, then remove and let cool, then turn the oven to 325F

Directions For Filling

1. To make filling, cut cream cheese into pieces and add to a mixing bowl. Whip until smooth, maybe 4 minutes. Then add 1-1/3 cups sugar, and continue to beat until smooth again, another 4-5 minutes. Next, add vanilla, salt, sour cream and heavy cream; beat until smooth. Add in 1 egg at a time, beating briefly between each egg.

2. Pour filling over crust, then place the spring form pan in baking dish filled with boiling water. Before you do this, double check that your spring form pan is water tight. the water should go about one inch up the pan.

3. Bake for 1 hour 40 minutes   to 1 hour 50 minutes, then turn off oven and let it sit and cool in the oven for 1 hour (this is so it doesn't crack).

4. Cover loosely with foil, then let it refrigerate for at least 4 hours. When you're ready to eat run a knife around the edges then release the pan 

Believe me, this is some good a** cheese cake
