Cheesecake Directions

Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until combined. Then add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing well. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just combined.

Cool and chill
Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually for 1 hour. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
