This 3-Ingredient Cheesecake Is So Easy Anyone Could Make It

In a world full of 10 second snapstories, no one has the time for anything anymore. Especially when you’re a college student trying to find that near-impossible sweet spot of balancing sleep, grades, and a decent social life. Need to whip up a last minute birthday gift? Or perhaps you have a spontaneous date coming over in a few hours? Or maybe you’re just hangry, but you can’t be bothered to bake anything too complicated. In any case, this recipe has been my go-to cheesecake ever since I could properly use a whisk – mainly because it’s dead easy and doesn’t require a lot of time.

3 Ingredient Cheesecake

• Prep Time:10 minutes
• Cook Time:30 minutes
• Total Time:40 minutes
• Servings:6
• Easy

Ingredients

• 1 graham cracker pie crust
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoon brown sugar

• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 356°F.

• Step 2

  Whisk cream cheese in a large mixing bowl to soften the cheese.

  #SpoonTip: Cut the cream cheese into cubes to help quicken the process.

  

• Step 3

  Crack one egg and add one tablespoon brown sugar into the bowl and whisk together until incorporated.

  

• Step 4

  Repeat step 3 two times, adding only one egg and one tablespoon brown sugar each time, and whisking until no lumps are seen.

  

• Step 5

  Pour mixture into pie crust.

  #SpoonTip: Gently lift and tap the cheesecake against a hard surface to release air bubbles.

  

• Step 6

  Put cheesecake into the oven and increase the temperature to 392°F.

• Step 7

  Bake for approximately 30 minutes, checking occasionally.

  #SpoonTip: A good trick to see whether it is fully baked or not is to poke the middle with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cheesecake is done. If the toothpick has bits stuck to it, wait a little longer.

• Step 8

  Take cheesecake out and let it fully cool down.

  

• Step 9

  Place into fridge for at least 2 hours to properly chill.

• Step 10

  Add any desired decorations and then serve.
