Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups whipped cream (for decoration)
- Chocolate chips (for eyes)
- Colored sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
- Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)
Cooking Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the vanilla extract, and mix well. Then, add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each into the mixture before adding the next.
- Mix in sour cream, lemon juice, and flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-65 minutes, until the center is set and a little jiggle remains. Turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside to cool gradually for about 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once chilled, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving platter. Decorate the top with whipped cream, creating bunny ears and features. Use chocolate chips for the eyes and add colored sprinkles if desired. Optionally garnish with fresh berries.
Variations and Tips:
- For a chocolate version, add 1 cup of melted chocolate to the batter before pouring it into the crust.
- You can create a fruit topping by adding a layer of fruit puree or a mix of fresh fruit on top of the whipped cream.
- To make the cheesecake even richer, replace half of the sour cream with mascarpone cheese.
- For an Easter-themed vibe, use coconut flakes to represent fur, and pastel-colored candies to enhance the festive look.
- Make sure to let your cheesecake sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving to make slicing easier.

Variations and Tips:
- For a twist, consider adding a layer of fruit puree (like raspberry or strawberry) on top of the cheesecake before drizzling with honey.
