Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 3 units large eggs
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly and wrapping the bottom with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 4

Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and sour cream to the cream cheese. Continue mixing until combined.

Step 7

Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 8

Mix in orange zest, lemon zest, lime zest, fresh orange juice, fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.

Step 9

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Place the springform pan into a large roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan, filling it halfway up the sides of the springform pan, creating a water bath.

Step 11

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 12

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door open slightly for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Step 13

Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 14

Run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform to ensure a clean release.

Step 15

Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with additional citrus zest or whipped cream if desired.
