- 1/3 cup melted cannabis-infused butter (learn how to make it here)
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Chocolate ganache
- Caramel sauce
Let’s Get Started: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted cannabis-infused butter, and ¼ cup of sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and remaining ¾ cup of sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until well combined.
Step 4: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the cheesecake to crack during baking.
Step 5: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Step 6: Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and allow the cheesecake to cool for 1 hour.
Step 7: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let it set completely.
Step 8: Serve chilled, topped with your choice of fresh fruit, chocolate ganache, or caramel sauce. Enjoy your pot-infused masterpiece!
