Ingredients

1 1/2 cups crushed sugar cookies or graham crackers

1/4 cup granulated sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

24 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs, room temperature

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup holiday sprinkles

1 1/2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping

Additional holiday sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix crushed sugar cookies, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the pan and bake for 8–10 minutes. Cool.

3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix well.

4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low. Stir in heavy cream.

5. Gently fold in sprinkles.

6. Pour filling over crust. Bake 55–65 minutes. Let cool in oven for 1 hour with door slightly open.

7. Bring to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.

8. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles before serving. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.

Notes

Always use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture.

Room temperature ingredients help create a smooth, lump-free batter.

Avoid nonpareil sprinkles—they tend to bleed during baking.
