Cheesecake Ingredients
Cheesecake Preparation
1. Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
2. Prepare the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat together Gjetost cheese, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.
3. Bake the cheesecake
Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour.
4. Chill and serve
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before removing it from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled.
