Instructions
Make the Graham Cracker Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Combine crumbs and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool slightly.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat room temperature cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until just combined. Pour over cooled crust.
Bake the Cheesecake: Wrap springform pan with foil. Place in a roasting pan. Pour hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off oven and cool for 1 hour with door ajar. Remove from water bath and cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Make the Nutmeg Whipped Cream: Beat cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and ground nutmeg. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Remove cheesecake from springform pan. Top with nutmeg whipped cream. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired. Slice and serve!
