Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tbsp orange blossom water
  • 1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

  2. Step 2:

    Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool while preparing the filling.

  3. Step 3:

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, cardamom powder, and orange blossom water until fully combined.

  4. Step 4:

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  5. Step 5:

    Bake the cheesecake in the oven for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.

  6. Step 6:

    Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Remove from the springform pan and slice to serve.
