Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Cheesecake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and sour cream, mixing well after each addition.

  4. 4

    Add Flavor and Eggs

    Add vanilla extract and mix well. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

  6. 6

    Cool and Chill

    Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  7. 7

    Prepare Strawberries

    Before serving, wash and slice fresh strawberries. You can toss them with a little sugar to enhance their sweetness, if desired.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, top with fresh strawberries, and slice to serve.
