Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Cheesecake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 0.25 cups of granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the remaining 0.25 cups of granulated sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour. Mix until well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  3. 3

    Combine and bake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.

  4. 4

    Cool and chill

    Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, allowing the cheesecake to cool for about 1 hour. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
