Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the crust

    Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the cheesecake filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, mixing until well combined. Add sour cream and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

  5. 5

    Pour and bake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

  6. 6

    Cool and chill

    Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice. Serve as is or with your favorite toppings.
