Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Baking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Finally, mix in the sour cream until smooth.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.

Chill and serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, you can top it with fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce if desired.
