Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Cheesecake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the crust

    Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Make the filling

    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to beat until well incorporated.

  4. 4

    Combine ingredients

    Add sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the cheesecake

    Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

  6. 6

    Cool and chill

    Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Then remove from the oven, let it cool to room temperature, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
