Goat Cheesecake

  • Yield: 12 to 14 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 pounds cream cheese (4 8-ounce packages), at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream (12 ounces)
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy goat cheese, such as Montrachet, at room temperature (12 ounces)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier

Directions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs with butter in a small bowl until thoroughly blended; press crumbs firmly on bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan with your fingers.
  • Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until thick, smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in 1 cup of the sour cream, the goat cheese, eggs and sugar, and continue beating until mixture is very smooth and creamy, 4 to 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla and lime juice until thoroughly incorporated, 2 minutes more.
  • Pour filling over crust and smooth top. Bake until filling is brown and springy-firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Combine Grand Marnier with the remaining 1/2 cup sour cream in a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Spread on top of cooled cake.
  • Remove cheesecake from refrigerator about 2 hours before serving. To serve, cut cake in wedges with a warm knife.
