Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar and beat until combined. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.

  3. 3

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
