Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

  2. 2

    Make the cheesecake filling

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

  3. 3

    Combine and bake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Cool and chill

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  5. 5

    Top with toppings

    Before serving, drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the cheesecake. Sprinkle pecan halves on top for garnish.
