Cannabis New York Cheesecake

I’ll admit it… Cheesecake has always been one of my biggest weaknesses. If I see a slice of New York cheesecake on a dessert menu, there’s a very good chance I’m ordering it. 😄 There’s just something about that rich, velvety filling and buttery graham cracker crust that never gets old.

So naturally, it was only a matter of time before I gave this classic dessert my own infused twist. After a few test batches (and a few very happy taste testers), this Cannabis New York Cheesecake quickly became one of my favorite cannabis desserts. It’s dense, creamy, perfectly sweet, and infused with just the right amount of cannabis butter to make dessert feel a little more special.

Let’s bake it!

How to Make Cannabis New York Cheesecake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs.
• ¼ cup granulated sugar.
• ½ cup cannabis butter, melted.
• 4 blocks cream cheese, softened.
• 1¼ cups granulated sugar.
• ¾ cup sour cream.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract.
• 2 tbsps all-purpose flour.
• 4 large eggs.
• 1 tbsp lemon juice.

Tools:

• Springform pan.
• Mixing bowls.
• Electric or stand mixer.
• Measuring cups and spoons.
• Rubber spatula.
• Large roasting pan.
• Aluminum foil.
• Cooling rack.
• Food processor (optional).

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C), mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted cannabutter until evenly coated, press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let the crust cool while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the sugar, sour cream, vanilla, flour, and salt until silky. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.

3. Prepare the water bath: Wrap the springform pan in two layers of foil, pour in the filling, then place it in a roasting pan and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath for even baking and to help prevent cracks.

4. Bake: Bake for 60–70 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles, then turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to help prevent cracks.

5. Let it chill: Remove the cheesecake from the water bath, cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) before removing the springform ring, slicing, and serving.
