Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the crust

   Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 0.25 cups of sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

2. 2

   Bake the crust

   Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool while preparing the filling.

3. 3

   Make the filling

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 0.25 cups of sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.

4. 4

   Add the flour

   Gently fold in all-purpose flour until just combined.

5. 5

   Pour the filling

   Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.

6. 6

   Bake the cheesecake

   Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.

7. 7

   Cool and chill

   Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy!
