New York-new York Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the crust

   Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup of melted butter, and ¼ cup of sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.

2. 2

   Make the filling

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the sugar, mixing until well combined. Then add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. Finally, fold in the flour gently.

3. 3

   Bake the cheesecake

   Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for an additional hour.

4. 4

   Chill and serve

   Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. After chilling, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve with your favorite toppings!
