Method

Cheesecake

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until creamy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Vanilla and Sour Cream

    Add vanilla extract and sour cream to the mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

  7. 7

    Cool and Chill

    Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then, remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your New York Style Cheesecake!
