Crust

Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the crust

    Press the mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar and continue mixing until well combined.

  2. 4

    Add remaining ingredients

    Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined after each addition.

  3. 5

    Bake the cheesecake

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

  4. 6

    Chill the cheesecake

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for another hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cherry Reduction

  1. 7

    Prepare the cherry reduction

    In a medium saucepan, combine frozen Bing cherries, 0.5 cup of sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries release their juices and the mixture begins to bubble.

  2. 8

    Reduce the sauce

    Simmer the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Once the cheesecake is chilled, slice and serve topped with the cherry reduction.
