Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until well combined. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

Combine and bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Chill and serve
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Once chilled, top with your choice of fruit before serving.
