Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Cheesecake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Crust

    In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

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

  4. 4

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Pour the 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 let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour.

  5. 5

    Cool and Chill

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
