Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Cheesecake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheesecake Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice; mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 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 ajar for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cheesecake

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
