Servings: 18
Calories: 310kcal
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1½ cups sour cream
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs room temperature
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set a 6-quart oval slow cooker to low. Line the insert with a large sheet of parchment paper, making sure it extends up the sides. Lightly coat the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add the graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
- Add the melted butter and pulse again until evenly combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker and press firmly and evenly into the bottom to form the crust.
- In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the sour cream, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat just until fully combined and smooth—do not over mix.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top.
- Cover with the lid and cook on low for 5–7 hours, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Periodically wipe condensation from the lid to prevent moisture from dripping onto the cheesecake.
- Remove the slow cooker insert and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
- Lift the cheesecake out using the parchment paper, peel it away, slice, and serve.
Notes
A water bath is not needed—slow cookers provide a moist, gentle heat that helps prevent cracking.
Use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth, lump-free filling.
Mix only until combined to keep the texture creamy and avoid cracks.
Always cook on low. High heat can cause uneven cooking and a grainy texture.
The cheesecake is done when the center is set and a skewer comes out clean.
Chill at least 3 hours, or overnight for best texture and clean slices.
For neat slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
Add toppings (fruit, caramel sauce, whipped cream) just before serving.
