Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups (213 grams) graham cracker crumbs
• ⅓ cup (66 grams) granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake:

• 32 ounces (908 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup (198 grams) granulated sugar
• ⅔ cup (151 grams) sour cream, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon almond extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup (198 grams) rainbow sprinkles
• Additional sprinkles and whipped cream, for garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Mix until smooth. Gradually add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in rainbow sprinkles with a spatula.
3. Prepare for Baking: Wrap the bottom of the pan in aluminum foil. Pour the filling into the crust. Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan and add hot water to halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
4. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake at 325°F for about 70 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still jiggle slightly. Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
5. Chill: Remove from the oven, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
6. Serve: Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake, then remove the springform ring. Top with whipped cream and additional sprinkles.
