The humble loaf pan can be used for so many more dishes besides quick bread, and this genius recipe for small-batch cheesecake proves it! Making only 8 servings (opposed to the traditional 16), this simple cheesecake is perfect for when you want a little something sweet after family dinner without being left with a ton of leftovers. The combination of the delicious graham cracker crust, creamy filling with just a hint of lemon, and any decadent topping of your choice makes this dessert totally irresistible!

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 whole graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Filling

  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Line 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking parchment paper, leaving enough hanging over sides to easily remove cheesecake from pan.
  • Step 
    2
    In small bowl, stir Crust ingredients until well mixed. Firmly press mixture in bottom of loaf pan.
  • Step 
    3
    In large bowl, beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, the flour and grated lemon zest with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth. On low speed, beat in whipping cream, vanilla and eggs just until blended. Pour filling into crust, and smooth top.
  • Step 
    4
    Place loaf pan inside 13x9-inch baking pan. Pour very hot water into baking pan around loaf pan until water is about halfway up sides of filling in loaf pan, to create water bath.
  • Step 
    5
    Carefully place in oven. Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until cheesecake is set at least 1 inch from long edge of pan but center of cheesecake still jiggles slightly when moved. (Cheesecake will become firm during refrigeration.) Turn off oven; leave cheesecake in oven with door closed 15 minutes. Carefully remove from oven; cool in pan (with water) on cooling rack 30 minutes. Remove pan from water bath.
  • Step 
    6
    Refrigerate about 3 hours, or until completely chilled. Using parchment ends, carefully remove cheesecake from pan. Carefully pull sides of parchment paper away from cheesecake. To cut cheesecake, use long, thin-bladed, non-serrated knife. Dip knife into hot water after each cut, cleaning off with paper towel. Serve topped with your favorite toppings, if desired. Store cheesecake loosely covered in refrigerator.
