- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8 or 9 inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray (I highly recommend using a springform pan). Set aside.
- Mix together cream cheese and sugar until smooth using an electric mixer on medium speed until mixture is pale yellow in color and has doubled in size, about 5 minutes (you will notice the texture change).

Rich, creamy and decadent, classic cheesecake is hard to beat.
Cheesecake is a classic dessert that always goes over well. It’s rich, creamy and decadent—and it can be made in a variety of flavors to suit any taste. Whether you are serving cheesecake at an event or just looking for a quick treat for the family, we have the perfect recipe for you!
It starts with the most important ingredient of all: great cream cheese.
In this recipe, we use Philadelphia cream cheese—the brand that’s been made with fresh milk and real cream since 1872. The secret to its deliciousness? Just like our pumpkin cheesecake recipe, it starts with the most important ingredient of all: great cream cheese.
Make sure your cream cheese isn’t too cold or too warm when you start making the filling.
When you’re ready to make the cheesecake filling, your cream cheese should be at room temperature—not so soft it’s runny, but not so cold that it is difficult to press a finger into its surface without resistance. If your cream cheese is too cold when mixing, it will be difficult to incorporate the sugar and eggs into the mixture.
Room-temperature cream cheese should be soft enough so that you can easily press a finger into its surface without resistance.
When you’re making this cheesecake, it’s important to remember that room-temperature cream cheese should be soft enough so that you can easily press a finger into its surface without resistance. It should not be too cold or too warm.
You’ll need two pounds for this recipe.
If you are like me and have never made a cake before in your life, this recipe might seem a little daunting. Two pounds of cream cheese? What? How do I find that kind of stuff? Where is it at the grocery store?! But don’t worry! If you have ever tried to make a cheesecake before, then you know that they are really easy to make. You can make this pumpkin cheesecake with only two ingredients: one pound of cream cheese and one cup of canned pumpkin puree (or two cups if you prefer). So what does all that mean?
It means that if you want to save some money or if you don’t like cheesecake or just want to make an extra large cake for your family so everyone gets some good eats before Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow…you can use less than 2 pounds of cream cheese or even substitute butter or sour cream in place of it as long as its unflavored!
When you’re satisfied with the filling, pour it over the crust.
When you’re satisfied with the filling, pour it over the crust. Be sure to use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth out any lumps or bumps. Make sure you don’t overfill the pan; if there’s too much cheesecake batter in your pan, it will overflow when baking.
If you feel that your springform pan isn’t quite as secure as it needs to be, wrap the outside of the pan with a sheet of aluminum foil before you put it in the oven. This will prevent any water from leaking into the inside of the pan in case your seal isn’t 100% flat and tight against the bottom of the cake.
In case it’s not obvious, the aluminum foil is there to help prevent leaks. If you’ve ever made cheesecake before, then you know that water leaking into your pan can cause a big mess and even ruin the integrity of your cake.
So here’s what we recommend: when wrapping your springform pan in aluminum foil before baking, be sure to use a clean sheet of aluminum foil (i.e., don’t re-use any foil sheets that were previously used for other purposes). If possible, also apply some pressure on top of the springform pan lid so as to ensure that no gaps are left where steam from inside could escape through the seal between pan and bottom of cake.
If you want to be extra safe against leaks, put a shallow baking dish on the rack underneath your cake pan before putting it in the oven. This will catch anything that might drip down during baking and save your oven floor from getting burned!
Let it cool at room temperature for a while before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill overnight so that every slice maintains its shape and has time to set up properly!
