Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Press into Pan

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Use the back of a measuring cup for a smoother finish.

  3. 3

    Pre-bake Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Blend Cream Cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.

  2. 5

    Add Sugar and Sour Cream

    Gradually add granulated sugar and sour cream to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Vanilla and Eggs

    Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Baking the Cheesecake

  1. 7

    Pour Filling into Crust

    Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  2. 8

    Bake Cheesecake

    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 cheesecake inside for an hour.

  3. 9

    Cool and Chill

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Topping Preparation

  1. 10

    Prepare Topping

    Before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese and optional fresh herbs on top of the chilled cheesecake for added flavor.
