Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the cheesecake filling

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

  3. 3

    Combine and bake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.

  4. 4

    Cool and chill

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

  5. 5

    Add toppings

    Once chilled, drizzle caramel sauce and chocolate sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
