Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake Directions

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 well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Cheesecake Filling

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

3. 3

   Bake the Cheesecake

   Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. 4

   Prepare the Berry Sauce

   In a saucepan, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the chilled cheesecake and serve with the berry sauce drizzled on top.
