Instructions
Creating Simple Churro Cheesecake for Parties involves a few simple steps. Follow this easy guide to bring your dessert to life:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
3. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Once baked, remove and allow it to cool slightly.
4. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix until well combined.
5. Add Eggs: Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep from adding too much air to the batter.
6. Stir in Sour Cream and Cinnamon: Mix in the sour cream and cinnamon until incorporated.
7. Pour into the Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing it evenly.
8. Bake: Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. The edges should be set, while the center remains slightly jiggly.
9. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven. Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight for best results.
10. Prepare the Topping: Before serving, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the chilled cheesecake.
11. Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice your Simple Churro Cheesecake, and it’s ready to be presented at your party!
