Crust and Filling
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

Cool and top
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once chilled, top with seasonal fruit before serving.
