Easy Spiderweb Cheesecake Recipe

This cheesecake features a smooth and rich filling made from cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, all set on a buttery graham cracker crust. The spiderweb design is created using chocolate syrup, making it a fun and festive addition to any Halloween celebration. The recipe takes about 1 hour to prepare and chill, serving 8-10 people.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chocolate syrup for spiderweb design
Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Finally, stir in the sour cream until smooth.
Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Create the Spiderweb: Once chilled, drizzle chocolate syrup in a spiral pattern on top of the cheesecake. Use a toothpick or skewer to drag lines from the center to the edge, creating a spiderweb effect.
Serve: Remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake and serve with whipped cream if desired.
