Step-by-Step Instructions for Tall and Creamy New York-Style Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add room-temperature eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition without overmixing.
  4. Mix in sour cream, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until fully combined.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top.
  6. Place the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan and pour hot water halfway up the sides.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
  8. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the cheesecake cool for about 1 hour.
  9. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  10. Once chilled, run a knife around the edge and slice into pieces for serving.
