Cheesecake is typically made with a cheese—like cream cheese—eggs and heavy cream or sour cream. The cheese mixture is sweetened and poured into a crust that’s pressed into a springform pan and gently baked in a water bath to help prevent cracking. The cake is made ahead of time so it has time to chill before serving.
