Ingredients
Cream cheese
3 (8-ounce packages, softened)
Splenda sugar substitute
25 (1g packets)
Sour cream
1 (cup)
Eggs
3 (large)
Vanilla extract
1 (teaspoon)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese to room temperature, or microwave it on defrost for about 5 minutes until it's soft and easy to blend.
3
Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed for one minute until creamy and smooth.
4
Add the Splenda sugar substitute, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the bowl. Blend all ingredients together until well incorporated and smooth.
5
Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by spraying it generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the cheesecake from sticking.
6
Pour the prepared batter into the cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. The cheesecake should be firm in the center, with a golden brown crust and slightly cracked edges for that authentic New York-style look.
8
If you prefer a lighter color, create a tent with aluminum foil over the cheesecake halfway through the baking time to protect it from browning too much.
9
For an alternative version, you can substitute the sour cream with homemade unsweetened whipped cream for a fluffier texture.
