Method

Cheesecake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  3. 3

    Bake the cheesecake

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in for an additional hour.

  4. 4

    Cool and refrigerate

    Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 2 hours. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

  2. 6

    Blend the coulis

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Blend the mixture until smooth and strain if desired for a smoother texture.

  3. 7
