Instructions
Bring all ingredients to room temperature and preheat oven to 325°F (no fan). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and foil wrap.
Grind graham crackers and sugar until fine. Mix with melted butter and press firmly into the pan. Bake crust for 7–8 minutes and set aside.
Whisk cream cheese, sugar, salt, and vanilla for 3–5 minutes until smooth.
Lightly whisk eggs separately, then add slowly to batter, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Add heavy cream, sour cream, and lemon juice. Mix gently until smooth.
Pour batter over crust. Tap pan gently to release air bubbles.
Place pan in a water bath and bake for 75–80 minutes until edges are set and center is jiggly.
Cool at room temperature for 2–3 hours, then refrigerate uncovered overnight.
Remove from pan, decorate if desired, and serve.
