Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.

Cool and chill
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
