Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for another hour.
Chill and Serve
After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Once chilled, carefully remove the springform pan. Slice and serve plain or with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or whipped cream.
