Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or your fingers to create an even layer.

  3. 3

    Bake the Crust

    Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Sugar and Other Ingredients

    Gradually add the granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended. Avoid overmixing.

  4. 7

    Add Flour

    Sift the all-purpose flour over the mixture and gently fold it in with a spatula until just combined.

  5. 8

    Pour into Crust

    Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  6. 9

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Bake in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 55-65 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.

  7. 10

    Cool and Refrigerate

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

Topping

  1. 11

    Prepare Topping (Optional)

    If using, wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Arrange them on top of the chilled cheesecake and drizzle with strawberry glaze before serving.
