Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap in foil to prevent leaks.
- In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Beat softened cream cheese and mascarpone in a bowl until smooth. Add lemon juice and vanilla, mixing until blended.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Ensure the mixture is silky and free of lumps.
- Pour filling into the crust and place the springform into a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
- Bake for 1 to 1¼ hours until edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Cool for 10 minutes with the oven door ajar.
- Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and refrigerate overnight to set.
- Before serving, top with whipped topping and drizzle with caramel sauce.
