Recipe for Cake Batter Cheesecake
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 24 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup prepared yellow cake mix
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs
– Rainbow sprinkles for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers and melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, yellow cake mix, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, ensuring everything is thoroughly incorporated but not over-mixed.
5. Pour the cream cheese batter over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
6. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the center still jiggles slightly.
7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for about 1 hour. This gradual cooling helps prevent cracking.
8. After cooling, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
9. Before serving, sprinkle rainbow sprinkles over the top of the cheesecake for a fun and colorful touch.
